Abstract: On the basis of many years investigations and observations, the main problems of almond-apricot production in Baiyushan mountainous area of northern Shaanxi have been unveiled. Almond-apricot florescence and fruiting phase encounters strong and much frost. Chief variety of almond-apricot is Longwangmao, but Longwangmao florescence is shorter and earlier than other varieties, and resists frost weakly. Most almond-apricot have been planted on southern slope land, the tree on southern slope land blossoms earlier than other direction slope land, so has more chance of encounter frost, this not benefit for fruiting. On account of low yield and low production value, many almond-apricot trees have been cut down or have been desolated. Baiyushan mountainous area need select and introduce resistant frost varieties and late blossom varieties, strengthen administration and alteration almond-apricot production, develop wild apricot and wild peach, and offset the damnification of almond-apricot.
