In which area of Hunan do you grow apples?

The northernmost part of Hunan is also below 35 degrees. So there is no apple producing area in Hunan. And even if planted, there is no good quality, but some locals planted apples, but the fruit is small and unpalatable. It is the best choice for apple growth between 35-50 degrees north and south latitude. Apples need 1000- 1600 units of heat and 120- 180 days of frost-free weather. Warm during the day and cold at night, and as much light radiation as possible is the premise to ensure good quality. Apples can resist the frost of MINUS 40℃, and if the temperature is between -2.2℃ and -3.3℃ during flowering and fruiting, it will affect the yield. Compared with other deciduous crops, apples bloom later. Thereby reducing the probability of suffering from frost. However, for some varieties and regions, the frost effect is more obvious there, so an effective anti-freezing system is necessary. It is most suitable for neutral and well-drained soil with pH value of 6.5.
