Peach is a kind of fruit plant with visible flowers and juicy fruit, which can be eaten raw or made into candied fruit and canned peaches. Nutlets can also be eaten.

The flesh is white and yellow, and the most popular varieties in Asia are mostly white flesh, sweet and juicy; People in Europe, Australia and North America have always liked varieties with yellow flesh.

cultivation techniques

Peaches are generally propagated by grafting, and the rootstocks are peaches in the south of China and peaches in the north. It is also useful to use this rhizome or plum, plum, apricot and cherry as rhizome. Seedling raising method is still used in some production areas. Cutting propagation of yellow peach in Australia was successful. Taoyuan is not suitable for continuous cropping. The planting distance is slightly south, about 33 ~ 40 plants per mu; It is slightly sparse in the north, with about 22 ~ 27 plants per mu. Cultivation of Prunus tomentosa in mountainous areas and dwarfing with rootstocks can increase the density. Generally planted in autumn and winter, planted in northern spring. Peach trees grow vigorously, so young trees should control the application of nitrogen fertilizer to avoid unnecessary growth. After entering the full fruit stage, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer can be increased and "Trim" phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied together. In addition to applying base fertilizer every year, quick-acting topdressing should be applied after flowering, fruit expansion and harvest. When symptoms such as iron deficiency, zinc deficiency and boron deficiency are found, foliar fertilization should be carried out. Irrigation in autumn drought or spring drought in summer and frozen water in winter. Tillage is usually combined with irrigation and fertilization.

The common modeling method is natural and happy modeling to adapt to its light-loving characteristics. The pruning method depends on the variety, tree age and environmental conditions. In the growing season, summer pruning techniques such as sprouting, sprouting, coring, twisting, pruning and thinning should be adopted as far as possible to control the growth of branches, save nutrients and reduce the amount of pruning in winter. Updating the branches in time and reducing the number of peripheral branches after the full fruit period of peach trees can avoid the outward migration of some fruits and prolong the full fruit period. Proper thinning of young fruits 20 ~ 25 days after flowering is beneficial to ensure fruit quality and high and stable yield year after year.

The propagation and cultivation management of ornamental peaches are generally similar to those of fruit peaches. Most of the gardens are shaped by natural methods, and the branches inside the crown are controlled by pruning, so that the ventilation and light transmission performance are good. Picking vigorous branches in summer and pruning long branches properly in winter can promote more flowering branches and keep the crown intact and beautiful. Fertilization every year can enrich flowers and prolong the life of trees.
