Explain in detail the factors that affect leaf picking, helping apricot growers to apply them correctly to achieve the highest efficiency. Main content: Why is it necessary to choose the right day to pick up the leaves? Apricots need 7-10 days after leaf picking to bloom. Choosing the right day helps the apricot bloom on time for Tet, avoiding early or late blooming. Optimizes the flower bud development process, helps flowers bloom evenly, beautifully and last a long time. Factors affecting leaf picking date: Apricot varieties: Apricot usually needs 8-10 days to bloom. Apricot chrysanthemum may need up to 12-15 days. Weather: Cold weather: Apricot blooms slowly, need to pick leaves earlier. Hot weather: Apricot blooms quickly, can pick leaves later. Flower bud condition: Small buds, light green: Need to pick early (December 15-20). Large buds, dark green or slightly yellow: Pick close to Tet (December 23-25). Step-by-step instructions for choosing leaf picking date: Step 1: Observe flower buds Large, plump buds, bud tips starting to separate from the silk shell: Can pick leaves from December 23-25. Small buds, not yet clearly developed: Should pick earlier, around December 15-20. Step 2: Monitor the weather Cold weather, temperature below 20°C: Pick leaves 1-2 days earlier. Hot weather, temperature above 25°C: Pick later than expected. Step 3: Check the health of the apricot tree Healthy apricot tree, green leaves: Ready to pick leaves. Weak or newly grafted tree: Avoid picking leaves too early to let the tree recover. Step 4: Choose the right day to pick leaves Calculate from the 30th of Tet, minus 7-10 days (depending on the type of apricot and weather) to determine the day to pick leaves. For example: If the apricot tree is expected to take 8 days to bloom, pick leaves on December 22. Notes when picking apricot leaves: Time of day: Pick leaves in the early morning or cool afternoon to avoid strong sunlight. Picking method: Pick each leaf, do not break flower buds or young shoots. After picking leaves: Water evenly, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Add potassium and foliar fertilizer to promote bud growth. Results achieved: The apricot tree blooms right on Tet, the flowers are even, large, beautiful and last a long time. Ensure plant health after flowering season, prepare well for next season.
