1. Planting: When planting, you should choose an area with sandy soil and add some organic fertilizer to the soil. Buy some sturdy apricot saplings, put them in the hole and cover them with soil. When one-third of the soil is covered, gently lift the saplings a little so that its roots can stretch better. After planting, water them thoroughly.

2. Fertilization: When the new branches grow to 15cm, it is necessary to apply fertilizer to them. Not only should fertilizer be applied to the soil, but also foliar fertilizer should be sprayed. Generally, some compound fertilizer should be applied from the time the flowers fade to the time when the fruits grow.

3. Pruning: If you want the fruit to grow better, you must pinch off the tops of the trees in time. This can control the rapid growth of new shoots and help the fruit to expand faster.
