Peach trees like sunny environment, have strong germination ability and are very resistant to pruning. New buds grow many times a year, and young trees can grow branches four times. The fruiting period was early, reaching the peak in 5 ~ 15 years, and began to decline after 15 years. Its life span is closely related to the selected rootstock type, conservation environment and cultivation management level.

Pruning time of peach trees

Peach trees are mainly pruned in winter dormancy and summer growing season. Generally, winter pruning can be carried out from the end of nutrient reflux half a month after defoliation to the next year before germination. It is better to prune in early spring in the Yellow River basin and the northern region, and in early winter in the southern region. Pruning can be done at any time during the growing season as required.

Pruning method of peach tree

1, light and short pruning is mainly to cut off the blind nodes on the upper branches of peach trees, and the pruning amount is very light, which can improve the germination rate, strengthen the branching ability and increase the total growth of branches.

2. Under normal circumstances, half of the total length of annual branches of peach trees is cut off, and the new shoots germinated in the second year are generally weak.

3. The pruning of heavy and short branches is stronger. Generally, two-thirds of the total length of annual branches of peach trees are cut off. The new shoots germinated in the second year are generally robust, and the overgrown fruiting branches and overgrown branches can be pruned as main branches or side branches.

4. Heavy and short cutting is to cut off three-quarters of the total length of the annual branches of peach trees, and the new shoots sprouting in the second year will grow vigorously.

Matters needing attention in pruning peach trees

1. Pay attention to the branches that are kept and updated, and don't pay attention to the fruit branches that grow from the branches. Long-term pruning with "double branch regeneration" will not grow thick fruit branches after a few years, which will affect the stability of high yield of peach trees.

2. The long buds of peach trees grow vigorously, and most of them will not grow, so they need to be pruned as soon as possible to reduce nutrient consumption. Proper pruning can increase ventilation, reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, improve fruit quality, and achieve the purpose of high and stable yield, high quality and long-term effect. The best pruning time is11-65438+February, when the plant enters dormancy.
