Planting conditions of peach trees

Peach tree is a kind of deciduous small tree with fruit as fruit. planting and building a garden should be based on the local climate, traffic, topography, soil, water and other conditions combined with the adaptability of peach trees, especially strong photophobia and fear of waterlogging. Choose lots with sufficient sunshine, high dryness, deep soil layer, adequate water sources and good drainage. Let's take a look at the planting conditions of peach trees.

Soil

Peach trees have a strong ability to adapt to the soil, and the general soil can be planted, and the neutral and sour soil grows better. When the soil pH is lower than 4 or higher than 8, the growth is seriously affected. In the aspect of adaptation to soil texture, the cultivation of sandy loam with good drainage, strong permeability and fertile soil is better, which is characterized by early fruit and good quality. If the soil is too fertile, the texture is too sticky, it is easy to grow too prosperous, the fruit is late, the early yield is low, the quality is poor, the taste is light and the fruit is small.

Temperature

Peach trees adapt to a wide range of temperature. Except for the extremely cold and hot areas from plain to altitude, the annual average temperature is 12-17 ℃. The optimum temperature for peach growth is 18-23 ℃, and the optimum temperature for fruit ripening is about 25 ℃. Too low or too high temperature during the growing period of peach trees will affect the normal growth of peach trees. If the temperature is too low, the growth of peach trees is abnormal, the fruit is not easy to mature, the temperature is too high, the branches are easy to burn, the fruit quality is decreased, and the southern varieties are more tolerant to high temperature.

Moisture content

Peach is native to the continental plateau, which is resistant to drought, excessive rainfall, easy to grow branches and leaves, poor quality of flower bud differentiation, small quantity, poor fruit coloring, light taste, poor quality and not resistant to storage. Because each variety group formed different requirements for water under different climatic conditions for a long time, the southern variety group was resistant to humid climate and performed well in the south, while the northern variety group was easy to cause overgrowth, few flower buds, poor fruit and low quality in the south. Therefore, when selecting cultivated varieties, we should pay attention to the type of population in order to avoid trouble in production.

Light

Light is essential to plant photosynthesis. Peach trees especially like light, lack of light, extended treetops, less flower bud differentiation, poor quality, suitable for falling flowers and fruits, so artificial light is too weak when planting peach trees in the greenhouse. To ensure normal growth.
