Melons & Fruits 0 views
Taiwan Sweet Peach, also known as Red Peach, is a deciduous fruit tree belonging to the medium-to-small fruit category. Under natural growth without fruit thinning, the average single fruit weight is about 100 grams; with artificial fruit thinning and cultivation management, the fruit weight can increase to 150 grams, and the maximum fruit weight can reach 250 grams. The fruit ripening period in trial plantings in Fogang, Heyuan and other places in Guangdong Province is mid-to-late May. When ripe, the fruit is bright red, firm, crisp, refreshingly sweet, good in flavor, and storage-resistant; the flesh does not separate completely from the pit. Planted in the current year, the per-plant fruit yield can reach

Taiwan Sweet Peach, also known as Red Peach, is a deciduous fruit tree belonging to the medium-to-small fruit category. Under natural growth without fruit thinning, the average single fruit weight is about 100 grams; with artificial fruit thinning and cultivation management, the fruit weight can increase to 150 grams, and the maximum fruit weight can reach 250 grams. The fruit ripening period in trial plantings in Fogang, Heyuan and other places in Guangdong Province is mid-to-late May. When ripe, the fruit is bright red, firm, crisp, refreshingly sweet, good in flavor, and storage-resistant; the flesh does not separate completely from the pit. Planted in the current year, the per-plant fruit yield can reach more than 3 kg the following year, making it a very promising new fruit tree variety.

I. Climate and Soil: Any place suitable for planting peaches, plums and Japanese apricots is suitable for planting Taiwan Sweet Peach. This variety has low soil requirements; it can flower and bear fruit in both poor and fertile land, but it is best to choose a plot with loose soil for planting, where growth is fast and yield is high.

II. Variety Combination and Spacing for Planting: Taiwan Sweet Peach has relatively weak self-pollination ability, so when planting it is best to pair it with Taiwan Honey Peach, at a ratio of 9:1 or 8:2. The planting spacing between plants and rows is 3 x 4 m, with 50-55 plants per mu. The planting method is the same as that for other fruit trees; sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting, and spring planting is preferable.
