1、 Seedling stage

The disease resistance of peach trees in seedling stage is weak, so it is necessary to provide sufficient light and appropriate ventilation to reduce the possibility of disease. At this time, it needs a lot of water, but it is also afraid of waterlogging. Water three times a day, and do not water more each time to avoid root flooding and rot. Pruning is mainly to pick the heart, and pick the terminal bud when it is 25-30cm high to control the size of the plant

2、 Growth period

From the beginning of peach sprouting to falling leaves, it is its growth period. At this time, it needs a lot of water and nutrients, and it also needs to give long-term light. In this way, it can grow stronger and be conducive to flowering and fruiting. The pruning during the growth period can be larger, and the over dense branches and leaves can be cut to increase the internal ventilation and light transmission. We should also cut off dead and weak branches to reduce the waste of nutrients

3、 Flowering stage

The flowering period is included in the growth period, but it is different from other times. Proper water control shall be conducted before flowering to promote the opening of flowers. Stop fertilization after flowering, otherwise it will burn roots, cause flowers to fall, and affect fruit yield. When the flowers fall behind, we should supplement fertilizer in time to supplement nutrients for fruit growth. Pruning is basically not carried out during flowering, but the residual flowers should be picked after flowering to reduce nutrient consumption

4、 Dormancy period

After falling leaves, the peach tree enters the dormancy period, at which time its growth basically stops. Watering should be less and fertilizer should not be applied. During dormancy, pruning is needed to shorten the branches, which will help to promote new branches in the coming year
