When is the best time to plant yellow peach seedlings (when is the best month to transplant yellow peach trees)

Yellow peach is a kind of peach with yellow flesh and skin. Due to its high nutritional value, delicious taste, and good storage and transportation resistance, it is now loved by many growers.

What is the best season to plant yellow peach trees?

The best time to plant yellow peach seedlings is spring planting and autumn planting. It is recommended to plant around November in autumn.

The temperature is still relatively high at this time, which is the peak period for the development of the fruit tree root system. Moreover, when transplanting yellow peach trees in spring and autumn, the suitable soil temperature is conducive to the recovery of the root system, and the survival rate is very high .

If you plant in spring, the tree nutrients not only need to supply buds, but also provide nutrients for root recovery. Before the root system recovers, all the nutrients of the tree need to be consumed, which can easily lead to the death of the trunk nutrients being drained .

Planting methods and management of yellow peach seedlings

At present, the more common yellow peach varieties on the market include: Golden Honey Series, New Century Yellow Peach, Golden Crisp, Splendid Yellow Peach, Golden Winter Peach, etc. You can choose the variety suitable for your planting according to the properties of various peaches .

④ Planting depth

The depth of the planting hole should be between 40 and 80 cm . Use 20-30 kg of organic fertilizer and mix it evenly with the soil in the hole.

The planting depth should be 3-5 cm below the grafting point, and slightly deeper than the depth before transplanting by one centimeter.

What is the best fertilizer for yellow peach trees?

When planting new yellow peach seedlings, you should pay attention to the management of fertilizer and water in the first two years to promote the rapid and strong growth of the seedlings, and lay a solid foundation for flowering and fruiting in the third year.

In terms of fertilizer and water management, the principle is to apply thin fertilizer frequently, promote first and control later . From March to June, use 50 grams of urea per plant every half a month, and use 50 grams of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per plant at the end of June to promote the peach tree from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, which is conducive to the maturity of branches and the differentiation of flower buds.
