Xiahong apple

Source: Arkansas Morning Red/Alice. The test name is "June Red". Characteristics: It is an early-maturing variety. Young trees are strong, and the fruit trees are moderate; The tree posture is relatively open, the crown is naturally round, and the branches are softer and more open; The annual branches are light brown, with moderate branching ability, and the proportion of all kinds of branches is 12.1% for long branches, 13.4% for middle branches, and 74.5% for short branches and foliage branches. The leaf buds are small, the flower buds are large, the leaves are oval, serrate and thin, and the leaves are yellow-green, with 5-6 flowers per inflorescence. The buds are thick red from the flowering period to the early flowering period, and the petals are round and pink. High grafting trees usually blossom and bear fruit in 2 years, and young trees bear fruit in 3 years. The first bearing trees are mainly axillary flower buds, and the short fruit branches bear fruit in full fruit period, and each inflorescence can bear 1-3 fruits. The fruit point is medium and small, the fruit stalk is medium and long, the stem depression is deep and rust-free, the calyx depression is medium, and the fruit top is flat; The peel is thin and bright red; The flesh is yellow and white, thin, crisp and juicy; Sweet and sour flavor, good taste, shelf life of 7-10 days. In Yuncheng and Linfen areas, it ripens in late June, and the fruit development period is about 72 ~ 75 days. Quality analysis: In 2012, the Institute of Agricultural Environment and Resources of Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences detected that the soluble solid content was 13.26%, the total sugar was 11.73%, the titratable acid was 0.33g/100g, the protein content was 0.69g/100g, and the Vc content was 14.2mg/100g. Test situation: Linyi County grafted on five-year-old Meiba apple tree in 2009, with an experimental area of 3.7 mu. The average yield per mu in the third and fourth years was 2.76 kg and 14.34 kg respectively, and the average yield per mu was 262.4 kg and 1363.1 kg respectively. In 2010, Xixian County was grafted on an 8-year-old Jinguan apple tree, with an experimental area of 16.2 mu. In the third and fourth years, the yield per mu was 3.05 kg and 13.5 kg respectively, and the yield per mu was 287.2 kg and 1271.3 kg respectively. The experiments in the two places are the earliest ripe in the local area, and the fruit coloring area is over 90%. Key points of cultivation: high grafting cultivation in Qiaohua orchard, the suitable density is 4 meters ×3 meters, and 55 plants are planted per mu; If dwarf rootstock is used to build the garden, the suitable density is 3.5 m× 2 m, with 95 plants per mu. Adopt small crown open-heart tree shape or evacuation spinning tree shape, and timely remove large branches, dense branches and weak branches in the cavity to ensure ventilation and light transmission of the tree body. Pay attention to harvesting fruits in time. Suitable area: suitable for planting in southern Shanxi Province.
