Li Xiaochun planted not ordinary apples, but potted apples. With a new agricultural thinking concept, coupled with relying on the power of scientific and technological innovation, change the traditional planting mode, from the initial sale of bagged trees for 100 yuan a tree, to sell a potted tree for 300 to 500 yuan, and then to sell bonsai trees today, the highest selling to 65,000 yuan a tree, Li Xiaochun let the value of apples grow geometrically.

The apple bonsai tree is short, the tree posture is beautiful, the branches are thick and short, and the tree is simple and vigorous. Spring flowers from pink to white, graceful and colorful, summer leaves turquoise crisp, swaying, into the autumn fruitful, hanging full of branches, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, color changeable, dazzling.
The advantage of apples as potted plants

Through continuous practice and exploration, the scattered and chaotic natural beauty can be shaped into a concentrated and generalized artistic beauty, which can be condensed in a bowl to be realized. It not only solves the problem of "north fruit moving south", but also satisfies the wish of the majority of people to move wild apple trees to the hall to appreciate, and also adds a strange new flower to the dazzling bonsai world.

In 2007, Li Xiaochun applied apples to potted plants and received unexpected results. It turned out that he planted apple trees in flower pots and buried them in the ground, so that the root system could only grow in pots, which not only saved land use, but also realized dense planting and ease of management.

Now potted apples can plant 460 fruit trees per acre, and the harvest period is 2 to 3 years earlier, and the yield is more than 7 times higher than usual. In addition, because the nutrients of the fertilizer are not easy to lose in the pot, the sugar content of the apple is also 3 to 5 percentage points more than that of the conventionally grown apple, and the fruit is large and sweet.
Market prospects
Not long ago, Li Xiaochun also specially registered his own Apple brand trademark. He also printed his own apple with words, such as "couple apple", "fu", "hi", "cai", etc., which was very favored by the market.
Today, Li Xiaochun carefully prunes each fruit tree into shape and packs it into a delicate purple sand container. The newly decorated "apple bonsai" must sell for at least 300 yuan per pot, which is several times more than the previous benefit.
