Caring for peaches in spring: secrets to get fruits like at the market
Peaches are a demanding crop. Not every gardener can boast of an excellent harvest of these fruits.
However, it should be remembered that in the spring the tree needs special care.
First, you need to remove the winter cover.
In early spring, you can whitewash the trunks if the procedure was not performed in the fall.
Then you can move on to trimming.
But there is one nuance here. If usually plants are pruned before the sap starts to flow, then with peach everything is different. It is advisable to carry out manipulations at the initial stage of budding, when the buds have swollen and will soon open. This is due to the fact that only at this stage can the condition of the plant after winter be assessed.
You also need to remember about fertilizers.
In early spring, the tree should be fed with nitrogenous substances. Urea or humus, bird droppings will do.
Before flowering, it is necessary to add potassium and phosphorus elements.
During flowering, boron will not cause any harm, but in this case it is advisable to carry out foliar feeding.
Another mandatory part of spring care is treatment against diseases and pests.
