Broom peach, a wonderful flower in peach blossoms
Compared with straight-branch peach, Shouxing peach and weeping-branch peach, broom peach can be said to be a very unique type among many peach blossoms. The most prominent characteristics of broom peach are tall tree type, narrow and high crown, straight branches and small branch angle.
Broom peach originated in the Edo period in Japan. The broom peach was first recorded in the famous Japanese horticultural monograph "the broomstick of the Flower bed" in 1695. Tower-shaped peaches have also been recorded in the famous Book of Young Horticultural plants published in Taiwan.
Since the 1980s, Japan began to use the ancient broom peach as its parents to cultivate a series of pure colors such as pink, red and white. "Shoushou" in Japanese means the appearance of "broom". It includes four varieties: 'Zhaoshou Red', 'Zhaoshou Bai', 'Zhaoshou Peach' and 'Zhaoshou Ji'. The latter two are both pink, but there are some differences in flower color and flower density. The above four broom peach varieties were successfully introduced and planted in Beijing Botanical Garden in 1998, which is the first time that broom peach, a special type of peach blossom, has settled in China.
The United States used Japanese broom peach as its parent and bred a series of 'Collins' peach blossom varieties at the end of 1990s. In architecture, Corinthian refers to an ancient Roman column that stands tall and upright. The broom peaches in the Collins series include not only green leaves, but also two new varieties with purplish red leaves, 'Corinthian Powder' and 'Collins Rose'. At present, the Beijing Botanical Garden has been successfully introduced.

Feizi laughs that the problem of "more flowers and less fruit" has been solved.
On May 20, "early ripening and high yield cultivation techniques of Feizixiao litchi" passed the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements in Maoming City. This technology breaks the traditional method of postponing flowering and fruiting of Feizixiao, focuses on nutrition supply, and effectively solves the problem of "more flowers and less fruit". With the application of this technology, the average annual plant yield reached 25.59-48.47 kg, an increase of 17.63%-28.07% over the control; the first batch of flowers and fruits accounted for 70%-80%, 40% more than the trees under ordinary management; and the fruits of the first batch of flowers matured 3-5 days earlier.
