(1) has strong adaptability.
Peach tree is one of the most adaptable and widely distributed fruit trees. The important commercial peach cultivation center in the world is located between 30 and 45 degrees south latitude. Peaches are produced in more than 70 countries around the world. Peach trees are planted in Heilongjiang in the north, Guangdong in the south, Korla in Xinjiang and Lhasa in Tibet in the west, and coastal provinces and Taiwan Province Province in the east. Peach trees have strong adaptability to soil, and can be planted in both plains and mountainous areas.
(2) Fruits are nutritious.
Peach juice is sweet and rich in sugar, organic acids, minerals and vitamins. According to the determination, every 100g edible part contains 7 ~ 15g of sugar, 0.2 ~ 0.9g of organic acid, 0.4 ~ 0.8g of protein, 0. 1 ~ 0.5g of fat, 3 ~ 5mg of vitamin C and 0/000 ~ 0.00 of vitamin B. Peach kernel contains 45% oil.
(3) The plant is small and easy to cultivate.
Peach trees are generally 2.5 ~ 3 meters high, which can be controlled within 2 meters if densely planted; The cultivation technique is relatively simple and easy to harvest; Peach trees have fewer pests and diseases than apples and pears.
(4) Fast growth, easy flowering and early fruiting.
Peach has high germination rate and strong branching ability. New shoots can produce 2 ~ 4 secondary branches every year, with large annual growth and rapid crown formation. In addition, peach is more likely to form flower buds than apple, pear and other tree species. Through scientific management, the peach trees planted in that year can form a large number of flower buds in the next year, which will yield high yield.
(5) Fruit is not resistant to storage and transportation.
Soft solute varieties become soft and rotten after being stored for 2 ~ 3 days in high temperature season. Some late-maturing varieties are well stored and transported, but they can only be stored for a short time. Although peach fruit is not resistant to storage, there are early, middle and late ripening varieties because of the diversity of peach varieties. Therefore, in the annual cycle, the supply period of fruits is longer, from May to165438+1October for open cultivation, and from March to May for protected cultivation, 1 1 to 65438+February or 65438+1.
(6) There are many kinds and wide uses.
There are three categories of peaches: fresh, processed and ornamental, as well as nectarine, flat peach and yellow peach. Peach stones can be made into activated carbon. Stems, roots, leaves, flowers and seeds can all be used as medicine; Peach fruits are mainly eaten fresh, and can also be processed into canned peaches, preserved peaches, peach juice, peach sauce and dried peaches.
(7) Short service life
The life span of peach trees is generally 15 ~ 25 years. In terms of variety renewal, the renewal speed is faster than that of apples and pears.
