Is peach tree suitable for mixed planting with other fruit trees? How to plant peach tree to bear fruit quickly?

Peach trees are very common in our daily lives. Many people plant one or two of them at home because they are easy to grow and produce plump and juicy fruits. So are peach trees suitable for interplanting with other fruit trees? How can peach trees bear fruit quickly? Let's take a look.

Are peach trees suitable for interplanting with other fruit trees?

First of all, I think peach trees cannot be mixed with apple trees, cherry trees, walnut trees, etc. The growth cycle of fruit trees will produce different resistances and habits!

Secondly, peach trees are early-maturing, fast-branching, and highly photophilic. The crown of a peach tree about three years old will be much larger than that of other fruit trees! The root system of peach trees has a vigorous metabolism and secretes a large amount of amygdalin. When the necrotic roots of peach trees rot and hydrolyze in the soil, they will produce a large amount of toxic substances such as potassium cyanide and benzoic acid, which will inhibit the respiration of the roots of other fruit trees and seriously affect the normal growth of other fruit trees!

How to plant peach trees to make them bear fruit quickly

1. Peach trees have large branches and well-developed root systems, and require sufficient space and land. Therefore, they cannot be planted in small courtyards and need a wider location.

2. Peach trees are suitable for growing in fertile, air-permeable and water-permeable soil, preferably neutral sandy soil. They cannot be planted in saline-alkali land, otherwise the peach trees will be small, unable to bloom and bear fruit, and will be prone to many diseases and insect pests.

3. Peach trees like light and need long periods of light. They cannot be planted in the corners of houses or under big trees. Otherwise, they will not be in an environment without direct sunlight and will not grow normally and healthily.

4. Peach trees are relatively cold-resistant. During the winter dormancy period, after pruning the branches of peach trees, whiten the trunk with lime water and remove insects. If there is freezing weather, it is best to tie straw to the branches of peach trees to keep warm and prevent freezing. Generally, when the temperature reaches 15℃ in spring, peach trees will begin to recover, blooming first and then growing leaves, which is a charming sight.

How to plant peach trees

When choosing peach saplings for planting, you should choose saplings that are over 15 cm tall, have 3 to 4 lateral roots, have a trunk diameter of over 8 mm, have a good tree shape, have full buds, and are free of root cancer and other diseases. The best planting season is from the time the soil thaws in spring to before the peach trees sprout. The spacing between rows and plants is usually 3 to 4 or 5 meters. Before planting peach trees, you should first prepare the land and apply fertilizers. Dig a 80 cm square tree pit, mix the decomposed farmyard manure with the soil, and then fill it up. Water it to settle. When planting saplings, face the grafting point in the windward direction.
