中国果业第一品牌——烟台苹果

The Yantai Apple-the No.1 Brand of Chinese Fruit

烟台苹果历史悠久,是中国西洋苹果栽培最早的地方,早在1618年以前就有苹果栽培。据《中国福山县志》记载,明朝万历年间就有＂花红＂之称。1871年,西洋苹果由美国传教士约翰·倪维思从美国、西欧等地引入,烟台农民利用枝条嫁接改造当地苹果,从此开创了烟台苹果栽培的新纪元。烟台位于黄渤海之滨,受海洋调节,形成春迟、夏凉、秋爽、冬不寒的物候期,正是这种小气候、小环境养育了烟台苹果特有的品质。

With a long history of Yantai apples,Yantai,where apples grew before 1618,was an earliest place for western apple cultivation in China.According to the County Annals of Fushan,China, 'Huahong' existed during the Wanli Reign in the Ming Dynasty.In 1871 western apples were introduced from the United States and West Europe by an American missionary named John Nevius.Yantai farmers transformed the local apples by grafting branches,which opened a new era for the cultivation of the Yantai apple.
