1. Where can I find authentic snow peach seedlings?
Authentic snow peach seedlings are purchased in Lijiang City, Liaoning Province, gaizhou city City and Linyi City, Shandong Province. Therefore, you can choose to buy high-quality snow peach seedlings for planting. Due to different regions and seedling size, the price of Xuetao seedlings will be different. You can check it online. Generally, the price of 1-2-year-old snow peach seedlings is between 3 and 6 yuan, and the price will be relatively favorable if you buy more.
Second, suitable areas for planting snow peaches.
Xue Tao is a very late-maturing variety with a maturity of about10-1month, and the suitable growth temperature is between -25℃ and 40℃. After entering the dormancy period, it needs to survive in the low temperature environment of -8 ~- 15℃ for more than 30 days before it can blossom and bear fruit normally. Therefore, Xue Tao is suitable for planting in northern areas such as Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Beijing, southern Gansu, northern Jiangsu, southern Hebei, northern Anhui and western Sichuan, but not in southern areas.
Three, snow peach planting techniques
1, select soil
Suitable for planting in flat dams, hillsides and hills with rich and deep soil layers. It needs to be neutral, slightly acidic and slightly saline-alkaline. If the soil is too alkaline, it should be ploughed and improved, and drainage measures should be taken to avoid root rot caused by excessive water accumulation. If the land erosion is serious, it must be managed well.
2, timely transplantation
(1) Transplanted and purchased snow peach seedlings before germination in early spring or after defoliation in autumn. Before transplanting, dig a pit in the soil with an area of about 1 m square and a distance of about 34 or 45 meters. If it is a small-sized seedling, it can be transplanted with bare roots or with soil. If it is a large-sized seedling, it needs to be transplanted with soil balls.
(2) After transplanting, the topsoil, green manure, farmyard manure and crop straws are layered or mixed in into the pit, and then watered. We should loosen the soil and weed in the growing season, and pay more attention to drainage in the rainy season. Generally, pests and diseases should be controlled in June and July.
3. Rational fertilization
(1) Fertilization of snow peach is mainly based on organic fertilizer, supplemented by general chemical fertilizer. Chlorine fertilizer should be avoided, and nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled for seedlings, otherwise the branches will grow in vain.
(2) Nitrogen fertilizer can be added after the full fruit stage to promote the growth of young trees. Fruit trees are fertilized three times a year, organic fertilizer is applied between 10- 1 1, potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer are applied from late April to May, and organic fertilizer is applied before and after harvesting.
(3) Fertilization should be carried out at a distance of 35-50cm from the surface, and circular fertilization should be carried out at a distance of 40-80cm according to the age of trees.
4. Dressing and shaping
Snow peach trees are usually trimmed into hearts, and are usually reshaped in winter and summer. In the early stage, the peach tree was mainly germinated, pitted and twisted, and long branches were pruned. In the full fruit period, the peach trees are mainly cut short, and then the excessive branches and strong branches at the front end are pruned. Fruit trees are not allowed to be pruned after defoliation, which is easy to cause injury and is not conducive to the growth and development of snow peach trees.
