Peach trees thrive in well drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils. Adequate sunlight and air circulation are essential for healthy tree growth and fruit development.
Peach fruit cultivation
Peach trees are cultivated in late winter or early spring when they are dormant. Proper spacing between trees and between rows is essential to ensure adequate light and air flow.
Adequate and consistent irrigation is necessary especially during dry periods and the fruit development stage. Drip irrigation systems are often used to provide controlled water supply to the tree root zones.
Regular prunning and thinning should be done. Prunning helps remove dead or diseased branches, maintain shape of the tree and encourage fruit production.
Pests and diseases like aphids, brown rot, and leaf curl should be managed by integrated pests and disease management practices.
peach fruits are harvested when they reach optimal ripeness determined by the color, firmness and taste.
