1. Pay attention to the selection of eugenic trees suitable for local planting: no matter what kind of fruit trees, there are eugenic areas and suitable areas. Generally speaking, if fruit growers want to obtain good economic income, they should choose eugenic trees (products) suitable for local planting to build a garden.

2. Pay attention to the selection of fruit tree seedlings suitable for local climatic conditions: the cold resistance of all kinds of fruit trees is strong and weak, and there are differences between cold and warm in different areas. therefore, when selecting and purchasing fruit tree seedlings, we should first consider the cold resistance of fruit tree varieties. then consider the fruit quality, size, high yield, storage tolerance and so on, we must not simply pursue the fruit quality and quality while ignoring the cold resistance of the tree species.

3. Pay attention to the seedling standard: the height of apple, pear, plum and persimmon should be 80 cm ~ 140 cm, the thickness should be 0.7 cm ~ 1.0 cm, the height of peach and apricot seedlings should be 60 cm ~ 100 cm, and the thickness should be 0.4 cm ~ 0.8 cm. There should be more than 3 full buds on grape seedlings. All kinds of fruit tree seedlings should have more than 4 lateral roots with a length of about 18 cm, and have more fibrous roots.

4. pay attention to the quality of seedlings: whether fruit farmers buy fruit tree seedlings in spring or autumn, try not to buy that kind of fake seedlings, it is best to buy directly from the nursery, or buy fruit tree seedlings that have just come out of the nursery on the market.

5. Pay attention to check whether there are diseases and insect pests in the seedlings of fruit trees: some fruit trees will have cocoons on them. Do not buy apple tree seedlings with pink butterfly overwintering larvae and canopy caterpillar eggs, and do not buy plum, pear and apple saplings with root nodule disease.

6. Pay attention to check whether the fruit tree seedlings are frozen: if the seedlings are not planted properly in winter, they are extremely vulnerable to freezing damage, the branches are cut off and the cross section turns brown, which means that the survival rate of frozen fruit tree seedlings is low, so do not buy them.

7. Pay attention to check whether the root system of the fruit tree seedling is moldy or rotten: when the seedling overwintering, the false planting of the fruit tree is too early or the density is too high, and the seedling root is prone to mildew. The normal seedling root, the epidermis color is fresh, the cross section is white; the epidermis is brown or dark brown is the mildew root, the hand touches namely breaks.

8. pay attention to check whether the fruit tree seedlings lose water: the branches are round, the cross section is green, the feel is soft and cool, the normal fruit tree seedlings are soft and cool, the wood branches are wrinkled, the cross section is white, the straight and hard ones are lost fruit seedlings, and the survival rate of seedlings is low. The seedlings with serious water loss cannot be planted at all.
