When we eat ripe and juicy fruits of a peach , some of us start to wonder, and is it possible to grow a peach on your home garden? Perhaps not only a seedling, but even can be grown from a stone. Let's try to figure out how to plant a peach seedlings and how to plant a peach from a bone.
How to plant a peach in autumn
Since the most favorable time for planting a peach is autumn, in this article we will talk how to plant a peach in the fall.
Planting a peach seedlings
Autumn planting of peach seedlings begins with the preparation of soil. We excavate the pit (the size depends on the root system of the seedling), we return the fertile soil back to the pit, add ash and cow humus. All this is mixed, we form a mound of this mass in the center, and on top the mound is sprinkled with the top layer of the soil about 10 cm. We fix the peg to tie the peach seedlings to it later. And leave the pit alone for 2 weeks.
We take a seedling, we establish it on a hillock with roots. You need to pay attention to the vaccine - it should be at the level of the soil. We fall asleep with the roots of chernozem, if there is no chernozem, it is possible to fall asleep with the upper layer of the earth from the inter-rows. We tamp the earth around the seedling, we tie the seedling to the peg and water it.
Planting a peach from a stone
To grow a peach tree from a bone, you need to find a suitable bone first. In order for the tree to settle down and give an excellent harvest, remember a few rules: it is better that the bone was from the type of tree that suits you according to climatic conditions.
Ideally, the bone should not be from the grafted tree, but from the root. A bone should be taken from a good, ripe, very juicy fruit, but in no case spoiled. And the bone itself must be whole and completely without defects.
In the open ground bone must be planted in late October - early November. Plant the peach stone as soon as possible after you have pulled it out so that it does not have time to dry.
The stone is planted in very well-fertilized, soft and loose soil so that the distance to the trees that bear fruit was not less than 4 m. If you plant several bones, then in the row the distance between them should be 10-15 cm, and in the row - 50-55 cm. It is not necessary to plant a stone deeper than 7-8 cm. It is recommended to plant more seeds than you planned peach trees, since not all will ascend, but approximately half.
After planting the stone, you must necessarily wallow in the place of planting, a thick layer of grass. And leave it alone until spring. But in the spring, when shoots are already up, they will need to be watered abundantly every day, fertilize with humus and prevent disease.
