How long is the fruiting period of yellow peach? Fruiting period maintenance and management methods

How long does the yellow peach fruit season last?

July to August is the fruit-bearing season for yellow peaches. Yellow peaches start to bear fruit in the third year, and enter the peak fruit-bearing period after 1-2 years, that is, in the 4th to 5th year. The peak fruit-bearing period lasts for about 10 years, and then they will slowly die when they are about 20 years old. The fruit-swelling period of yellow peaches is from May to July.

Yellow peach ripening time

Yellow peaches mature in late July or early August. During the growing period, they need to be well managed, the soil needs to be loosened in time, and pests and diseases need to be prevented so that they can bear fruit faster.

Maintenance and management of yellow peach during fruiting period

1. Yellow peaches have a relatively large demand for fertilizer during the fruiting period. At this time, the fruits are expanding rapidly. Fertilization should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer and supplemented with potassium fertilizer. During the fruiting period of yellow peaches, ensure that the nutrition can keep up.

2. When yellow peaches are bearing fruit, they are very susceptible to disease and pests. At this time, pesticides should be used and diseased and insect-infested branches and leaves should be pruned off to reduce the spread of bacteria.

3. During the fruit-bearing period of yellow peaches, if it is not very dry, watering once is enough to prevent the yellow peaches from falling off. The soil should be loosened regularly to prevent the soil from being too hard.

4. Once grass grows, remove it in time to prevent the grass from competing with the yellow peaches for nutrients. Generally speaking, peaches do not mature together. Do not wait until they are fully ripe to pick them. Pick them when they are almost ripe. After picking the peaches, water them once. This water ensures the nutrients of the peach tree and lays the foundation for the growth of yellow peaches next year.

How to fertilize yellow peach during fruiting period

1. Choose fertilizer: Yellow peaches usually bear fruit in May and June. At this time, you need to apply potassium fertilizer as the main fertilizer, supplemented with a small amount of phosphorus fertilizer. The specific ratio is 3:1, and the dosage is 800-1500 ml per tree.

2. Fertilization method: Because it takes a long time for yellow peaches to set fruits and form kernels, it is recommended to dissolve the fertilizer in water and apply water-fertilizer at this time.

3. Fertilization time: Generally, fertilizer is applied every one week or ten days. It can be supplemented with some decomposed manure to help preserve the fruit and increase production.
