The "Chaoyanghong" apple base is 654.38 million mu, which is the largest demonstration garden of low-rootstock close planting apples in China.

In people's impression, apple is synonymous with "popular fruit" and "ordinary fruit", but I don't know that there are so many classifications of ordinary apples in our daily life. In fact, with the diversification of people's consumption concepts and needs, more and more apple varieties have been developed to provide consumers with different taste bud experiences.
At the beginning of the construction of Zhaoyang Red Apple Base, the focus was on "variety innovation". It took five years to select 1 18 apple varieties, and 25 apple varieties have been produced in batch. In the "apple circle" with serious homogenization, it has embarked on a differentiated road of variety innovation.
In Zhaoyang Red Apple Base, small apples with different postures are exposed to the wind and rain and strong ultraviolet rays. After an average of 65,438+0,902 hours of sunshine, it finally grew into a beautiful fruit with more than 80% natural coloring and unique flavor.
Geographical conditions of apple planting in Zhaotong;
Zhaotong is rich in apples, which is recognized by China Academy of Agricultural Sciences as "the most suitable area for apple growth in China". The high terrain, many rivers, small temperature difference between four seasons and large temperature difference between day and night in this area have created the unique quality of Zhaotong apple, which is "early sweet, fragrant and crisp".
"Early" means 20 to 30 days earlier than northern apples; "Sweet" is sweet and sour, and there is a "rock sugar heart" when it is fully mature; "Xiang" means strong taste and pleasant aroma; "Crispy" means that the meat is fine and crisp and the juice is rich; "Brilliant" is a beaming red and bright color. At present, Zhaotong has an apple planting area of 660,000 mu, with a total output of 840,000 tons, accounting for about 80% of the total output of apples in Yunnan Province.
