In winter, the leaves of the prune tree begin to fade and it enters a period of hibernation. At this time, the fruit grower begins to prune the tree to adjust the shape of the fruit tree and control the size of the kernels to ensure good growth.?

In the spring, the orchard blooms with white flowers, which a week later turn a deep yellow-green color and begin to fade. Subsequently, fruiting begins. At this point, water needs to be replenished through irrigation. ?

In mid-August, fruit growers begin to welcome the harvest. Typically, the entire harvest takes about 30 days. The ripeness of the plums is a prerequisite for accurately determining the harvest time, and plums are one of the few fruits that are picked after they have ripened. The exact time of harvest is determined by the firmness and sweetness of the plum's fruit.

Typically, it takes four to six years from planting for plum trees to begin fruiting, and the eighth to twelfth year to reach full production (150-300 pounds per year). For the next thirty years, these fruit trees, consistently produce good quality plums.?

Cultivation Techniques

1, prune trees can be planted when disk Mulching or mulching, play the role of moisture retention, alkali pressure, young trees can be intercropped between rows of short crops. After the growing season irrigation timely loosening and weeding.

2, in the fruit harvest after the base fertilizer, young trees 10kg/plant base fertilizer. Fruiting 50Kg/plant. Base fertilizer is generally used in the ditch, ditch depth 40cm, width 30cm. along the peripheral projection of the crown open ring-shaped fertilization ditch, fertilizer evenly into the ditch, and fill in time. Or in the periphery of the tree crown on both sides (east and west or north and south) dug fertilizer ditch, east and west, north and south every other year rotating fertilizer.

Can be fertilized 2 times a year, respectively, in the pre-flowering (mid to late March) and fruit expansion, flower bud differentiation beginning (mid-June). Young trees each time each plant 100-200g, fruiting each time each plant 400g, fertilizer N: P: K ratio is 2: 1: 2. Fertilizer can be used in the ditch in the crown projection of the east-west, north-south different directions digging a shallow ditch 15cm deep, 30cm wide fertilizer, fertilizer, backfill in a timely manner after the?

3, generally should be before budding (mid to late March), fruit development (early May), the beginning of flower bud differentiation (mid June), fruit ripening before the hard core period (mid July), fruit harvest (mid August) and the soil before freezing (early November) irrigation, irrigation quota of 400-600m3/667m2.

Built in the periphery of the agricultural area on the edge of the desert, if the conditions advocate the use of drip irrigation or micro-sprinkler. Conditions advocate the use of drip irrigation or micro-sprinkler irrigation and other water-saving irrigation methods, according to soil conditions and evapotranspiration, irrigation cycle of 4-7 days, each time the amount of water to infiltrate the soil 50-60em root system is appropriate for the main distribution layer.
