The apricot in Luo Niang's fresh orchard in Zongzhai Town, Suzhou District is ripe.

In the past few days, apricots in the fresh orchards of Luo Niangniang in three groups of Shahe Village, Zongzhai Town, Suzhou District have entered the mature stage, and the yellow red apricots are covered with branches, attracting a large number of tourists to come for sightseeing and picking.

Luo Xiuhua is the person in charge of the specialized cooperative of forest and fruit agriculture in Taoyuan in Oasis. In the past, she mainly planted cash crops. Later, through the investigation of the market, she found that peaches, apricots and other fruits have good market prospects, and they grow less in Zongzhai Town. And it's easy to sell. As a result, in 2010, she transferred more than 100 mu of land, mainly planted apricot and peach and other forest and fruit varieties, and gave the orchard an approachable name "Luo Niang fresh Orchard" according to her own name. This year is the first year of apricot tree hanging fruit, full of bright apricot trees bent the branches, attracting many tourists to taste and pick.

It is understood that a total of 20 mu of apricot trees are planted in Luo Niangniang fresh orchard. In addition to Shahe red apricot with good taste and early maturity, there is also a late ripening variety Li Guangxing. At present, apricot sales are mainly based on picking and distribution supermarkets. The orchard can receive more than 80 picking tourists every day and sell nearly a thousand jin of apricot.
