湖南零陵县零陵机械厂老工人胡纯如同志,在1953年用苹果种子种的15株苹果,1958年有4株开花结果,有一株竞结了36个苹果,一般的都结有十来个,而且品质也很好,如北方运来的苹果一样香甜。从这一实例中,完全打破了过去认为苹果是寒带作物、喜寒风怕高温、在黄河以北能长好、如移栽到长江以南就长不好的说法。我们可以看出江南也一样的能种苹果。 Hu Lingru, an old worker from Lingling Machinery Factory in Lingling County, Hunan Province, had 15 apples planted with apple seeds in 1953, 4 flowering plants in 1958, 36 contestants with one plant, , But also good quality, as sweet as the apple shipped in the north. From this example, we completely broke the saying that in the past, apples were considered to be boreal crops, hi-cold winds were afraid of high temperatures, north of the Yellow River was good, and transplanting to the south of the Yangtze River was not good. We can see that Jiangnan is equally capable of growing apples.
