Plum blossoms are generally divided into two types: fruiting plum blossoms and ornamental plum blossoms. You can't eat the fruit of ornamental plum blossoms. Plum blossoms that bear fruit are also called fruit plums, and the fruit is called plums, which are usually edible. Li Zitong often ripens in early summer, with yellow flesh, high acidity, crisp and fine texture, thick meat, juicy juice and stone inside. They are usually made into dried plums, which is a good snack food. Plums can also be made into plum wine, plum tea, preserved fruit and so on.
Some varieties of plum are self-sterile. Although some varieties can self-pollinate, cross-pollination can obviously improve the seed setting rate and increase the yield, so pollination trees should be configured. The allocation ratio of pollination trees should generally not be less than 3∶ 1. Planting density should consider the characteristics of long life and large crown of plum trees, and should not be too dense. The specific density should be determined according to the management level, variety characteristics, soil fertility and plastic methods. Generally, the plant spacing is 4m× 4m or 4m× 5m, and 4 1 or 33 plants are planted per mu.
Selection skills of plums
1, selected according to the origin.
Plums in each region have their own characteristics, but when selecting plums, we should pay attention to pollution-free producing areas and try to choose plums produced in warmer regions. This is because of the living habits of plums, because plums are suitable for growing in the range of 10 to 25 degrees Celsius, and plums in this range have the best taste.
2, according to the variety selection
There are many kinds of plums on the market, and most of them are made into candied fruit, so their tastes are quite different. When choosing plums, you can choose the corresponding taste according to your personal preference.
Step 3 choose according to color
Plums with good quality generally have a strong sense of color. Although the color is different because of different varieties, high-quality plums look good, and the most important thing is uniform color.
Step 4 choose according to size
Try to choose larger plums, because larger plums contain more water, and even after preservation, the pulp can maintain a certain humidity and taste better.
