The best time to transplant peach seedlings in a year

The peach tree is a tree that can be used as an ornamental tree as well as one that can bear fruit. There are many varieties of peach trees and they are also cold-resistant and drought-resistant. They are currently planted all over the country. Peach trees have strong adaptability and are easy to cultivate, but transplanting peach trees is still very important.

Peach tree transplanting time

The transplanting of peach trees should be adjusted according to the local climate. Generally, it is carried out in autumn, but it can also be done in spring. If transplanted in these two time periods, the survival rate of peach trees will be higher.

However, the climate in each region is different, so the time for transplanting will also vary to a certain extent. However, transplanting must be avoided in summer because the temperature in summer is relatively high, and peach trees transplanted at this time will basically not survive.

Peach tree transplanting technology

1. Land preparation for transplanting pit:

When transplanting peach trees, you must first choose a good transplanting location, and then determine the size of the pit based on the size of the tree crown. The specifications of the pit are generally (length and width) 120-150cm × (depth) 60-80cm. The pit should not be dug too deep. If the pit is too deep, it will easily cause the tree to fall and cause water accumulation, which will eventually lead to death.

2. Digging peach trees:

After the pit is dug, you need to dig the peach tree. First, dig about 20cm outside the crown of the tree. Try to avoid the branch roots when digging. The roots should be dug out with more soil. After the tree is dug, combine shaping with appropriate cutting on the main trunk and the auxiliary trunk, and then wrap the cut with film to avoid infection.

3. Transplanting:

Before transplanting, first trim the roots of the tree properly, then place it in the pit. The trunk of the seedling should be centered and the roots should be stretched out. After straightening it, fill it with soil, then pour in an appropriate amount of water. After the water is absorbed by the soil, fill and compact it again, then pour enough water to help the roots take shape, and then cover it with a layer of dry soil.

Management of peach trees after transplantation

Peach trees should be watered immediately after transplanting, and the amount of water must be sufficient. After the water seeps down, the seedlings should be straightened and the sunken pits should be filled again. If the soil is not sticky, it should be loosened in time and then covered with ground film. After the peach trees recover a little, top dressing can be applied, and attention should also be paid to the invasion of diseases and insects.
