桃是武汉地区栽培最早的传统果树,对解决春末夏初水果淡季供应,占有极其重要的地位。武汉桃子生产面积虽曾一度达8,000余亩,但最高年总产不过300余万斤,单产很低。1985年全市桃子栽培面积又恢复到9,000余亩(结果面积5,000余亩),年总产也不过170余万斤,单产始终在低水平上 Peach is the earliest traditional fruit tree cultivated in Wuhan. It is extremely important to solve the supply of fruit off-season in early spring and early summer. Although the peach production area in Wuhan once reached more than 8,000 mu, the highest annual output of more than 300 kg but with a very low yield. In 1985, peach cultivated area in the whole city was restored to more than 9,000 mu (the result area is more than 5,000 mu), but the total annual output was only over 170 kilos, and the yield was always at a low level
