White peach trees are suitable for planting in the Northeast.
Peach is native to the northwest region of my country, where the altitude is high, the sunshine is long, and the light is strong. It is adapted to the continental climate with dry air and cold winters. Therefore, peach trees love light, are drought-tolerant, and have strong cold tolerance. Temperature is the most important factor affecting the distribution of peach trees. In the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, southern Xinjiang, and northeastern Jilin, frost damage is prone to occur when the temperature is below -23 to -25°C in winter. Late frost damage in early spring also occurs from time to time. It's important. In areas in the south where the average temperature for the three months of winter exceeds 10°C, most varieties lose leaves late, enter dormancy incompletely, germinate very late the next spring, bloom unevenly, and reduce yields. When cultivating, you should pay attention to the amount of cold required by peach trees. Different varieties have very different requirements for low temperature. It is generally expressed by the accumulated temperature below 7.2°C. The amount of cold required by most varieties is 500 to 1,000 hours. Peach trees are most afraid of waterlogging. Waterlogging will cause plant death within 24 hours. It is ideal to choose sandy, slightly acidic soil with good drainage and deep soil.
The grafting method should be used for seedling breeding, and the rootstocks include mountain peach and peach. The planting density should depend on the soil, shaping methods, and varieties. Currently, due to the application of the dwarfing agent paclobutrazol and various new technologies, the planting density has increased. The spacing between rows is mostly 3 meters × 4 meters, and 55 to 83 plants per mu are planted. The tree shape should be V-shaped with double main branches or a natural open heart shape.
Peach trees mostly have compound flower buds, which are easy to bloom, have a large number of flowers, and have a high rate of setting white flowers. Taking into account cross-pollination in production can significantly improve the seed setting rate. In particular, some pollen-sterile varieties such as Shazi Zaosheng, Xiahui No. 1, Cangfang Zaosheng, etc. should be equipped with pollination trees to achieve high and stable yields.
