3. Growth habits of the Siberian apricot

1. Temperature environment

The Siberian apricot has strong adaptability, prefers light, and has a well-developed root system that reaches deep underground, with characteristics of cold resistance, drought resistance, and tolerance of barren soil. It can overwinter and grow safely at low temperatures of -30°C to -40°C,

2. Suitable soil

In the dry season from July to August, when the soil moisture content reaches only 3-5%, the Siberian apricot still has dark green leaves and grows normally. It grows well on deep loess or alluvial soil; it grows poorly on low-temperature and salinized soil.

3. Fruiting age

It begins to bear fruit 4-5 years after planting, enters the full fruiting period at 10-15 years, and has a relatively long lifespan. Frost or rainy weather during the flowering period can easily reduce production, and the yield is unstable. It often grows on dry, sunny slopes, hilly grasslands, or mixed with deciduous trees and shrubs, at an altitude of 700-2000 m.
