How to Grow Apricot Trees: A Detailed Guide to Planting Methods and Key Techniques

Growing apricots is actually very simple: prepare the planting site and first deep-plow the ground. Choose plump, mature seeds, and try not to use old seeds. If you do use old seeds, first rinse them clean with clean water. When planting, keep a certain distance, and the sowing depth can be kept at 10-15cm. The sowing time should be chosen well, and it should be done before the soil freezes, so that seedlings will emerge the following year.

1. How to grow apricots

1. Simply choose land with deep soil layers, loose soil, and average fertility.

2. For the sowing site, first deep-plow with a mountain plow, then harrow level and break up clods finely, and open furrows with a plow for sowing.

3. The row spacing is about 30 cm, the sowing depth is generally preferably 10-15 cm, the seed rate is about 25-40 kg per mu, and the sowing pattern uses wide and narrow rows, that is, leaving one empty row after every two rows.

4. Seeds should preferably be fully mature, plump ones collected in the same year.

5. If the seeds are old, before sowing use clean water to float off shriveled grains and moldy, deteriorated seeds, and appropriately increase the seeding rate.

5. For sowing time, sowing before the land freezes in autumn and winter gives good results, with neat seedling emergence the next year, and the seeds do not need sand stratification treatment, making it simple and easy to carry out.
