How long is the growth cycle of a peach tree?

Introduction to Peach Tree Growth

Peach trees prefer warm, well-drained soil and are mainly cultivated in Nanhui, Shanghai, Mengyin, Feicheng, Shandong, Funing, Zunhua, Shenxian, Hebei and other places.

Peach tree growth cycle

The life cycle of a peach tree, from germination, growth, fruiting to aging and death, is called its life cycle. Peach trees have a short life span and generally begin to age after 20 to 50 years.

Peach tree growth rate

Peach trees are mainly propagated by grafting. Their life can be divided into five stages according to the changes in growth and fruiting: sapling stage, early fruiting stage, peak fruiting stage, late fruiting stage and senescence stage. They sprout in January, bloom in February and March, wither in April and bear fruit, and ripen in August and September in autumn.

Peach tree growth cycle management

The yield of peach trees is about 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms per mu under good planting conditions. It grows fast and can grow 3 to 4 times in a year.

Temperature management : Peach trees can be cultivated in an annual average temperature between 8-17 degrees, and the suitable temperature during maturity is around 25 degrees.

Fertilization management : Increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the peak fruit-bearing period of peach trees, use farmyard manure every year to increase soil fertility, dig trenches and apply organic fertilizers. Apply fruit-picking fertilizers before and after fruit picking, carry out inter-cultivation and weeding, and pay attention to drainage when there is a lot of rain.
