(2) Peach branches have a short life span, especially the short branches are easy to self-sparse, the inner cavity of the crown is easy to be exposed, and the load-bearing parts are easy to move out. According to these characteristics, we should pay attention to the method of updating and pruning, maintain and restore the growth and fruiting ability of fruiting branches, and at the same time pay attention to the protection and utilization of latent buds to promote the growth of updated branches.
(3) The buds of peach trees belong to precocious buds, that is, they are formed in the same year and germinate in the same year, which can form two or three branches. Therefore, on the one hand, we should make rational use of the precocity of buds to realize early formation and early fruiting; On the other hand, it is necessary to control the number and time of branches through summer pruning to facilitate ventilation and light transmission, and promote the development of branches and the good differentiation of flower buds.
(4) Peach trees have strong germination rate and branching ability, which easily leads to poor ventilation and light transmission, and thin and weak branches in the crown. Therefore, attention should be paid to the density of branches outside the crown when pruning.
(5) Peach trees are easy to form flower buds, which can be formed on well-developed long, medium and short branches, or even on the secondary branches of clustered branches. However, the growth and fruiting characteristics of various fruiting branches are different, so different measures should be taken when pruning.
