Introducing a fruit can be introduced from the perspective of morphological characteristics, distribution and growth habits. The following takes apples as an example:

Apple is a deciduous tree plant in the Rosaceae family with relatively long stems. Tall, with short, thick branchlets, cylindrical shape; leaves oval, smooth surface, serrated edges, thick petiole; small umbrella-shaped flowers, pale pink, with downy surface; large fruit, oblate spherical shape, short fruit stem Thick; flowering period is May; fruiting period is from July to October. The name of apple was first seen in "Xue Pu Yu Shu" written by Wang Shimao of the Ming Dynasty. The Ping Po fruit in Beitu is a variation of Huahong.

Apples are native to central Europe, northern Iran, and the southern Caucasus of Russia. They are mainly distributed in Xinjiang and Ningxia in China. They generally grow in hillside terraces, plain mines, and hills. Apple loves light, is cold-tolerant, requires a relatively cool and dry climate, and is intolerant of infertility. It is suitable for growing in loose, deep, fertile, neutral or slightly acidic sandy loam with good drainage. Reproduction methods include tuber method, grafting method, sowing method, and cutting method. Natural reproduction method uses seeds to propagate, among which grafting reproduction is the fastest.

Things to note when choosing apples

1. During the growth process of apples, various factors cause their shape to deform. But there are also some apples that are deformed due to stunted growth. When choosing, try to choose apples that are more regular and round, and don’t choose the crooked ones. These apples generally don’t develop well and taste sour.

2. When choosing apples, look at the color first and then the fruit pattern. If you see vertical stripes on the apple, the more stripes, the sweeter the apple is. If there are no stripes, it is recommended not to buy it because Such apples suffer from insufficient light during the growth process, and the pulp has insufficient moisture and tastes bad.

3. When picking apples, look at the fruit stems. Usually the fresh fruit stems should be green, but if we see that the color of the fruit stems is black or dry, such apples must have been stored too long. , causing the fruit stalks to begin to dry out, because most of the water has been lost, and such apples will definitely not taste good, so be sure to look at the color of the fruit stalks when purchasing.
