Generally, apricots can be grown in Xinjiang, North China, East China and Northwest China. Small white apricots, large-fruit apricots and water apricots can usually be grown in the southern region.

Apricot Planting Technology in the South

1. Planting: When planting apricots, sufficient farmyard manure needs to be applied to the soil, and the soil should be deep and breathable sandy loam.

2. Fertilization: For planted apricots, you can apply an appropriate amount of urea or potassium sulfate to supplement nutrients during the growth period, and apply appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the flowering period.

3. Watering: Apricots need to be watered every 3 or 4 days after planting. After one month of planting, watering once every half a month is sufficient.

4. Pruning: Apricots need to be pruned regularly in the later stages of their growth. The weaker ones should be pruned away to facilitate their later growth.
