Is it auspicious or ominous to have an apricot tree in the yard?

Planting an apricot tree in the yard itself will not affect a person's fortune, but some people think that apricot trees have bad feng shui and are not suitable for planting in the home. There are many sayings about the Feng Shui of apricot trees. The first one is that the ancients believed that "peach nourishes people, apricot harms people, and the dead are buried under plum trees." One of them is that planting apricot trees at home will affect people's fortunes. The second reason is also because of the saying "If there is an apricot tree in the yard, the tree will prosper but the person will not", which means that the more vigorously the apricot tree grows, the worse the person's fortune will be. The third reason is because of the proverb "red apricots going out of the wall", which makes people think that planting apricot trees at home will lead to discord between couples, and one of them will cheat and betray the marriage. If planting apricot trees in the yard affects your family's mood, you can plant them in the fields or orchards. The fruits can be picked in June and July every year.

How to Grow an Apricot Tree

Planting time: Apricot trees are mainly planted in spring and autumn. Generally speaking, the climate in spring is more suitable.

Site selection and land preparation: Choose a plot with deep soil, and deep plow the soil and apply fertilizer to make it loose and fertile 1-2 months before planting. Dry the soil in the sun to reduce the number of pathogens and insect eggs in the soil.

Planting method: Choose one-year-old grafted apricot seedlings with well-developed root systems and thick branches. Generally, they will bloom and bear fruit in small quantities in the second year. Place the apricot seedling in the planting hole, backfill the soil to bury the roots, then raise the seedling appropriately and then fill it up again.
