Introduction of high yield and high quality apricot varieties

Apricot is one of the favorite fruits of our people, which has a wide range of uses and has high economic value. In recent years, when apples, pears and other fruits are going downhill, apricot has been in short supply, and the price has risen again and again. The cultivation of apricot trees has become an effective way for fruit farmers' families to get rich at present and even in the next few years. Several new varieties of high-quality and high-yield apricot trees are introduced below.

Jin Aolin: Jin Aolin is the latest precocious apricot species introduced from the United States by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Its main advantage is extra early maturity: the apricot can be picked on May 20, about 20 days earlier than Kate and other varieties. Extra high yield: Jin Orin was planted in that year, and a single plant was planted the next year: the fruit can reach more than 5 kg, the flowering and fruiting rate can reach 100%, the average fruit weight is about 80 grams, and the yield per mu in the third year can reach 2500 kg. Good quality: Jin Orin mature red outside and yellow inside, rich aroma, sweet and mellow taste, overcoming the disadvantages of poor taste quality of other early-maturing apricot varieties. This variety of apricot is not only suitable for greenhouse cultivation, but also the first choice for open-air cultivation.
