People have been planting apples since the Ming Dynasty. /kloc-In the middle of the 0/9th century, American missionary John Nivis brought the seedlings of apples and pears to Yantai. Professor Wu Gengmin said in Fruit Tree Cultivation: "In about 1850, an American missionary introduced all kinds of foreign apple seedlings from the United States and opened a garden at the eastern foot of Xinting Mountain in Yantai, Shandong Province, which was the beginning of cultivating foreign apples in China." Yantai has a unique geographical position, located in the northeast of Shandong Peninsula, with a continental monsoon climate in warm temperate zone.

The earliest red bananas and green bananas have soft and delicate flesh, which is very suitable for the elderly. Small countries are sweet and sour. Jin Shuai is crispy, sweet and sour. In 1980s, a new variety, Red Fuji, was introduced. Now, Yantai has become the largest red Fuji apple production base in northern China. According to statistics, eight out of every ten red Fuji apples exported to the outside world come from Qixia, Yantai, so Qixia is also named "the first apple city in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture. Now, fruit farmers have planted "green apples". Every year from the end of April to the beginning of May, when apples just bear small fruits, it is necessary to cover more than 200 small fruits of each fruit tree with special fruit bags, so that the fruits do not directly contact pesticides and become natural green fruits. One week before the fruit ripens, take off the fruit bag, and the sunshine will make the apple smile. Fruit farmers also put special labels on apples. When the apples are ripe, the words "Flo Xi Shou" will appear on them. Now there are more varieties of apples in Yantai.
