Peach planting techniques

1. Soil and planting density

When planting peaches, if you want to plant in large quantities, you must observe whether the soil is suitable for the growth of peach trees. In addition, when choosing tree species, you must also pay attention to the ripening period of their fruits. The ripening of the fruits should be staggered in early, middle and late stages to avoid the fruits being put on the market in large quantities and unable to be harvested in time.

2. Topdressing of peach trees

The best time to fertilize peach trees is in autumn, and organic fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer. In addition, some special fertilizers for peach trees need to be used. As for the specific amount and frequency of fertilizer application, it depends on the variety of peaches you grow.

3. Pruning and management of peaches

After a certain period of growth, peach trees need to be pruned. Generally, peach trees should have three main branches, and the rest should be cut off. In addition, the height of the peach tree should not exceed three meters. It is best to prune the peach tree in winter.

4. Management of peach fruits

Peach trees have a high fruit-bearing rate, so effective management is necessary to make them grow large and good peaches. If you find that your peach trees are bearing too many fruits, you must thin them out. The best time to do this is in May. Generally, only one fruit can be left on a short branch, two on a medium-long branch, and no more than three on a long branch.
