How many years does it take for yellow peach to bear fruit?

Introduction to growing yellow peach

Yellow peaches are widely cultivated in North China, Central China, and Southwest China. Among them, the yellow peaches produced in Yanling County of Hunan Province, Wutai Town of Pingyi County, and Guidong County of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province are very famous. The varieties include Houtuo yellow peaches, Wutai yellow peaches, Yanling yellow peaches, Guidong yellow peaches, etc. Yellow peaches are suitable for planting in late winter and early spring, and it is best to complete them before the end of February.

The fruit of yellow peach planting for several years

It usually takes three years to grow yellow peaches. If managed well, it can bear fruit in two years. The ripening season of yellow peaches is from early July to late July every summer. The ripening time of Guidong yellow peaches is around July 25, the ripening time of Yanling yellow peaches is July 15-18, and the ripening time of winter yellow peaches is early October.

Yellow peaches prefer a warm and humid environment and grow well in fertile, well-drained soil. Renovate the soil in advance and apply enough base fertilizer. Each pit should be 1 meter long, wide and high. Bag the fruits to prevent and control pests such as peach borers, fruit borers, and fruit moths.

Grafted yellow peach blossoms and bears fruit

Yellow peaches can only be truly successful if the new shoots can continue to grow half a month after germination when grafted onto peach tree stumps. Generally, they will enter the first fruiting period in the second year of planting and the high-yield period in 3-4 years.

Potted yellow peach fruit

Yellow peaches should be potted in the spring after thawing before budding, which is usually from February to March in the south. At this time, the peach trees store a lot of nutrients and the root system has begun to grow. They are easy to take root and survive after being potted, and will usually bear fruit in early August to late September of the following year.

Why don't yellow peaches bear fruit?

1. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers is not appropriate. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer requirements of yellow peach are 2:1:2. Do not use the method of high nitrogen, high phosphorus and low potassium. Excess phosphorus will cause soil compaction, causing root rot, dry rot and rot to take advantage of the situation and affect the results.

2. Applying unfermented and uncomposted human, livestock and poultry manure that is contaminated with bacteria, the so-called "raw manure", will burn the roots of the plants and cause root rot. In addition, large application amounts, uneven distribution, and excessive application of a single trace element will also affect the fruit set rate.

Yellow peach planting technology and key points

During the maintenance period of yellow peaches, water and fertilizer management needs to be done well. Fertilizer and water management is generally divided into four steps: growth fertilizer, flower-promoting fertilizer, fruit-strengthening fertilizer and maintenance fertilizer. In addition, branch pruning and artificial pollination are required. Old fruit trees need pruning and shaping, appropriate amount of topdressing, and timely loosening of the soil to extend the service life of the yellow peach trees and achieve the effect of not reducing production.
