The scientific name of almond wood is almond, also known as badan apricot, bada wood, etc., rose family peach, belongs to the perennial tree. Badan wood was introduced to China earlier, almost in line with the time of pistachio introduction, 1300 years ago. In the Tang Dynasty's "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks", there is such a record of Badan wood, "Partial peach (Badan wood) out of the Persian country, Persian called the Po Tan tree, five or six zhang long, four or five feet in circumference." The leaves are peach-like and broad, flowering in March (lunar calendar), white, the flowers are fruity, shaped like peaches, and the shape is biased, so it is partial to peach. Its flesh is not to be instigated, the kernel is sweet, and the countries of the western region are cherished."
Choose to plant albana saplings, because some people value its value and the benefits it brings, will choose to plant, and the time of badan wood introduced to China has been nearly a thousand years, but it has not been widely promoted to plant, not only because of technical reasons, but also because there is no high-quality variety suitable for domestic planting. The quality of the early planting of almond saplings was uneven, most of them were not high in yield and quality, and most of them became semi-wild and semi-cultivated.
When it was introduced before, it was only in Xinjiang to try seeds, only because the climate in Xinjiang and the place of introduction were relatively close, and the yield and quality were not very good. Now, with the continuous progress of domestic agricultural technology, in 2012, the Sanmenxia Lakeside District of Henan Province was jointly cultivated and improved by cooperatives, Henan Agricultural University and Northwest Agricultural University to achieve new planting and breakthroughs. It has cultivated high-quality badan sapling varieties and achieved a yield of 8500 kilograms of fresh fruit per mu. Not only is the survival rate high, the vitality is strong, the fruit hanging rate is high, but also the disease and pest resistance, the empty shell rate is low, and the extensive and lazy management is lazy.
High-quality Badan sapling varieties, suitable for planting areas: Shandong, northern Zhejiang, northern Anhui, southern Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, southern Xinjiang and other parts suitable for planting. So far, it is not only cultivated in Xinjiang, but also in other areas suitable for planting badan wood.
