Peach planting results after several years

After peaches are planted, it will take about three years for them to start bearing fruit. They will be in their peak fruit-bearing period between 4 and 15 years. The fruit will mature between August and September each year, but the climate in each place is different, so the fruit maturity period is different.

Grafted peach blossoms and fruits

Key points of high-yield peach planting technology

Timely transplanting : The transplanting time of peaches is divided into autumn transplanting and spring transplanting. Autumn transplanting is usually chosen because it is easier to take root and grow faster.

Field management : Peaches require good field management during their growth, mainly including three aspects: water and fertilizer management, shaping and pruning, and flower and fruit management.

Water and fertilizer management : Peaches need deep plowing and base fertilizer application in autumn, which is best completed in September and October. Generally, the method of deep plowing between rows is adopted, the weeds are pressed in the furrows, and organic fertilizer is applied, mixed with compound fertilizer at the same time.
