Extended data

It is a common problem of apricot cultivation in southern China that it only blooms without fruit. To solve this problem, we should first look at whether there are pollinated trees and whether they are the best pollinated trees, and then consider the quality of flower buds.

The quality of flower buds is a problem of many flowers and few fruits in a strong tree. In this regard, on the basis of routine pruning in summer, the trunk base 1 ~ 2 branches can be left as auxiliary branches, and the trunk double C-shaped ring saw can be carried out on the upper part.

Produced in all parts of the country, most of them are cultivated, especially in North China, Northwest China and East China, and a few areas are wild. In Yili, Xinjiang, they are wild into pure forest or mixed in Xinjiang wild apple forest, with an altitude of 3000 meters. It is also cultivated all over the world.
