When do apricot trees bloom?

Apricot flowers usually bloom in March and April in spring. However, apricot flowers are widely planted in China, including the southeast, northwest and Yangtze River valley. Therefore, due to different geographical locations, the flowering time is also different. Usually, the farther north apricot flowers are, the later the flowering month is.

If there is no flowering, it is usually because pollination is unsuccessful, which may happen if there is a continuous rainy season. Pay attention to the weather forecast before pollination, make full preparations and collect pollen as soon as possible.

Don't spray pesticides to take out honey when pollinating. In addition to relying on insects such as bees, artificial pollination is also needed, so as to concentrate on flowering and let apricot trees achieve high yield that year.
