In the past, the department of horticulture included three majors: fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. At present, the department of horticulture has been changed to the College of Horticultural Engineering, and the major of fruit trees has been changed to the major of horticulture science and engineering.

If you want to run an orchard, you must first choose the Horticulture College of Agricultural University. There are such universities in all provinces, and most of them recruit students from two universities. The better universities are China Agricultural University, Beijing Forestry University, Northwest A&F University, Nanjing Agricultural University and Northeast Forestry University. For example, Horticulture College of Shandong Agricultural University is the first choice for fruit tree specialty. Shu Huairui is an academician of China Academy of Engineering and the only academic leader of fruit trees in China. Students majoring in fruit trees in this school can go from master-doctor-postdoctoral.
