What are the characteristics of Tuwai peach? Detailed introduction to variety traits
Tuwai peach is an early-maturing peach variety, and because of its abundant flesh, sweet taste and high yield, it has good prospects for cultivation. So what are the characteristics of Tuwai peach?
1. What are the characteristics of Tuwai peach?
Tuwai peach is a high-yielding and stable-yielding early-maturing peach. Its fruit is steamed-bun shaped, with an overall milky-red color. The average single fruit weighs 219 g, and the largest can reach 486 g. When planted in open fields, it generally ripens in mid-June, and after being picked, it can be stored for more than a week without rotting or spoiling. Generally, 15 months after planting the seedlings, one mu can produce 1000-2000 kg; in the third year, each mu can produce 3000-4000 kg; in the fourth year, each mu can produce about 5000 kg.
2. How is Tuwai peach planted?
1. Choose a suitable nursery
Generally, choose sandy loam or loam soil that is fertile, loose and well-drained. Do not choose soil that has been used for planting rice, as it is prone to pests and diseases. The nursery location is best facing the sun and sheltered from the wind, which is more conducive to seedling emergence and daily care.
2. Treat the seeds
In October-November, place the seeds of Tuwai peach seedlings in a bucket filled with warm water. Remember to screen out the shriveled seeds, because those floating on the water surface are generally empty shells or of poor quality, and planting them will affect the seedling emergence rate.
3. Choose a suitable time for sowing
Generally, in February-March, the seeds will crack and reveal the white part, and at this time they can be sown. When sowing, a certain spacing must be maintained, neither too sparse nor too dense. After sowing, rake the soil flat, then cover it with a thin film, and press the edges tightly with soil. This can increase the ground temperature and help the seeds emerge.
4. Daily management
Before the Tuwai peach seedlings grow to the point of leaving the nursery, focus on strengthening details such as watering, fertilizing and pest and disease control.
Overall, Tuwai peach is a high-yielding and sweet early-maturing peach. Generally, after four years of planting, each mu can produce about 5000 kg; with proper management, it may produce more than 5000 kg.
