Detailed Explanation of the Cultivation Methods and Key Techniques for the Dwarf Peach

Melons & Fruits 0 views
The dwarf peach (Prunus persica var. densa Makino) is a deciduous small tree in the rose family (Rosaceae), genus Prunus, and a variety of the common peach. The plant is dwarf, with short internodes and dense flower buds. It begins its full blooming period in April, which lasts about half a month. The fruit ripens in September. The dwarf peach likes sunlight and well-drained soil, is drought-tolerant and relatively cold-tolerant, and overwinters at above 1°C. The dwarf peach is naturally vigorous, and it is enough to pay attention to two steps: fertilizing and thinning flowers. Generally, base fertilizer is applied in winter after the leaves fall. Before the flowers and leaves sprout in spring, a comprehensive liquid fertilizer mainly of phosphorus and potassium is applied; after the flowers fade, a phosphorus-potassium fertilizer is applied once, and thereafter a relatively dilute phosphorus-potassium fertilizer solution is applied about once every half a month. Fertilizing is stopped in summer, and after September a comprehensive fertilizer solution is applied twice. After the flowers open, besides keeping some flowers with good growth and good positions, thinning out the useless flowers is the key to the dwarf peach bearing fine fruit.
