Planted in the current year, the per-plant yield can reach over 3 kg the following year. It is a very promising new fruit tree variety, particularly suitable for cultivation in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong. Its key cultivation techniques are described below:

I. Suitable Climate and Soil Any place suitable for growing peach, plum, or plumcot is suitable for growing Taiwan Sweet Peach. This variety has low soil requirements; it can flower and bear fruit whether planted in lean or fertile land, but it is best to choose plots with loose soil texture.

II. Variety Pairing and Spacing Taiwan Sweet Peach has weak self-pollination ability, so it is best to plant it together with Taiwan Honey Peach, at a ratio of 9:1 or 8:2. The plant-to-row spacing is 3 m x 4 m, with 50-55 plants per mu. The planting method is the same as for other fruit trees: dig holes for planting and apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting.
