The superior natural environment is that Shentangbao Township has become the most suitable and largest dry and fresh fruit planting area in the county.

Shentangbao Township began to cultivate the first generation of red Fuji apple trees as early as the 1990s. At that time, the traces of administrative promotion were obvious. The township government distributed saplings to the masses, requiring every village and household to cultivate all apple trees in irrigated land. Under the pressure of the township government, the masses planted as required, but in less than half a year, most people secretly pulled out fruit seedlings to grow crops, and only a few villages such as Yangshuwan Village kept orchards. After several years' efforts, the apples in Yangcunwan Village were planted successfully, and the income of the villagers increased obviously. The role of typical driving is obvious. The masses realized that planting apple trees could make them rich. Since 1992, villagers have consciously planted apple trees on a large scale. At this point, the area of apple trees in Shentangbao Township has gradually grown, and by the beginning of this century, the construction of Red Fuji apple base has begun to take shape.

After taking office, the leaders of the new township party committee and government paid more attention to the development of apple planting and enriched the people. Township leaders introduced and improved red Fuji apple varieties, so that apples always maintained high quality and good taste. The village raised 2 million yuan to complete the renovation of roads and canals in the new rural park for 2.2 kilometers, mobilized Qingyangkou villagers to build a 200-mu dry and fresh fruit plantation in Luanshitan, and planted 7,200 red Fuji apple trees, 2 100 cherry trees and 0/300 chestnut trees, with a survival rate of over 95%. The park is expected to take shape with a survival rate of 6-0. In 20 14, the area of red Fuji apple trees in the township reached 3,500 mu, and the per capita income increased by 450 yuan.

A series of problems such as orchard management, orchard irrigation and fruit sales need to be solved urgently. The party committee and government of Shentangbao Township have adopted various ways, such as "going out, please come in", to let fruit farmers go out and learn from the experience, and to ask experts for guidance and training. At the same time, a lot of work has been done in hardware infrastructure construction, and the popularization of water conservancy project, pollution-free management technology and bagging technology has greatly improved the commodity rate of red Fuji apples. Now the second generation of high-quality red Fuji apple trees in the township has entered the benign development track of organic production and industrial management.
