Detailed Explanation of Key Technical Points for Apricot Tree Planting and Management

As the saying goes, peaches nourish people, apricots harm people, and under plum trees people are buried.

But whether it is peaches, apricots, or plums, they can all make money, and they are simple to manage, so you can give it a try.

Next, let us talk about apricot cultivation techniques.

Friends engaged in agriculture all say that apricots waste three years. What this means is that from planting to fruiting, an apricot tree only needs three years. The time is short and the results come quickly.

So, during these three years, what do we need to do?

The first year, planting. Plant the apricot tree before it sprouts in spring, or plant the tree before winter sets in, water it, and then bury the tree. The weather in the north is cold, and saplings easily freeze to death in winter.

The second year, grafting. After the saplings are planted and survive, they need to be grafted. The grafting time is autumn or spring. Let us take spring as an example. Apricot trees grafted in spring grow quickly. As shown in the picture: this grafting method is enough for the tree to bear fruit in the second year.

The third year, fruiting. Apricot trees can completely bear fruit in the third year, but before fruiting we also need to do some preparatory work, that is, pruning before spring begins. If the apricot tree bears a lot of fruit, we also need to remove some small fruits before the fruit ripens. Of course, under normal circumstances, we also need to apply pesticide once to ensure the fruit is not harmed by insects.

With such simple management, the profits are optimistic. In rural areas, apricots can be sold wholesale for 1.5 yuan per jin, and other varieties can sell for more than 3 yuan. This can fully be called zero investment and high return.

This will also become one of the main sources of income for farmer uncles.
