Twelve varieties of apple trees have been introduced and planted at home and abroad for experimenting in view of the single variety, low yield and poor quality of middle - late mature apples in southern Hebei Province. The performance of the selected varieties in phenological phase, growth and fruiting habits as well as their fruit economic characters have been observed during 4 years of cultivation and management. The results show that the sprouting and flowering time of these varieties are ver-y close to one another and their ripening periods are quite different; among them, such as 4 varieties as Changfu - 2, Yanfu - 10, New World, and Starkrimson could be introduced and planted as the main varieties of middle - late mature apples in southern Hebei Province, which have shown better comprehensive characters with the vigorously growing, early bearing, high rate of setting fruit, high yield and wide adaptability.%针对当前冀南地区苹果生产中中晚熟品种单一、产量低、品质差的现状,从国内外引进12个中晚熟苹果品种,在冀南地区进行引种栽培试验.经过4年的栽培管理,对这些品种的物候期表现、生长结果习性、果实经济性状进行了初步观察,结果表明:这12个品种的萌芽、开花时间接近,但成熟期有一定差距；长富2号、岩富10号、新世界、新红星4个品种的长势强、座果率高、结果早、丰产性强、适应性广,综合性状优于其它品种,可作为目前冀南地区中晚熟苹果主栽品种.
