How to grow black peaches? The latest black peach cultivation techniques and methods tutorial
Peaches are a fairly popular fruit, but you may know relatively little about black peaches, even though many of the peaches sold on the market now are black peaches. So how should this kind of peach be grown? Let's take a look below at black peach cultivation techniques so you can gain another skill.
1. Soil selection and land preparation
A good orchard plot must have high-quality soil, otherwise the fruit yield may be less than ideal. When choosing a site, fertile soil is best, because black peach trees have a relatively high demand for soil fertility. There should be no obstructing objects near the land, and it is best to be in a relatively open area, so that when the trees bear fruit they can absorb sufficient sunlight. Second, there should be no large stones in the soil, and the soil texture should be relatively loose, which helps the roots expand in the early stage. When leveling the land, drainage ditches should be reserved to facilitate later field management and drainage.
2. Planting
Black peach trees do not grow very tall later on, and their planting spacing is generally about 3*2 m. When planting, it is recommended to choose saplings for planting; methods such as cuttings have relatively high technical requirements. The planting pit should be about half a meter deep and about 0.6-0.8 m wide. First mix the base fertilizer evenly with the soil in the pit, then place the sapling in; the base fertilizer should mainly be decomposed manure. After filling with soil, be sure to water, and the first watering should soak through, so that in the early stage the black peach seedlings will basically not lack water.
3. Orchard management
After the black peach seedlings are planted, orchard management needs to begin. Here the main focus is on fertilizer and water and the growth condition of the trees. In terms of fertilizer and water, the main approach is to appropriately increase them for some saplings with poor growth, trying to keep the growth of the fruit trees balanced. In terms of the trees themselves, the main focus is on pests and diseases and weeds. In the early stage, the saplings should not be pruned easily; at this time the black peach seedlings are relatively fragile, and pruning can easily cause problems. Second, these weeds can easily steal nutrients from the saplings, so they need to be cleared regularly. For pests and diseases, try to use pesticides to solve the problem.
4. Pruning
Pruning in the early stage is mainly to make the black peach tree grow taller, while later pruning is to make it bear more fruit. This pruning goal must be clear. In early pruning, the main focus is pruning some miscellaneous branches on both sides, so that more branches can grow toward the sun, which can produce more flower buds. Later pruning is to balance the distribution of branches and trunks, so that the main branches and trunks grow better and can bear more fruit. When many fruits are completely shaded by leaves, appropriate clearing is also needed, which will make the fruits grow better.
The above are the cultivation techniques for black peach trees. In fact, black peach trees mainly place relatively more importance on the orchard management aspect, which has a relatively direct effect on fruit growth. When planting, everyone should still make appropriate adjustments according to the local actual conditions; only such techniques are the most suitable for oneself.
