Belmondo is one of the best fig peaches. Despite the difficulty in care, many gardeners prefer to grow a crop.

Description of the variety

The tree is medium-sized, with a spreading crown. Shoots have shortened internodes. On the sunny side, the shoots are red, and on the shaded side, they are yellow-green.

Fruit characteristics

The main color of peaches is greenish cream. Almost over the entire surface, the fruits have a blush in the form of grouped dots and strokes from a deep crimson to carmine color. Peach varieties have a unique aroma.

The fibrous juicy pulp of a pale cream color is covered with a rather dense skin of medium thickness, with a slight pubescence. In ripe fruits, the stone is well separated.

Peaches are disc-shaped with a deep abdominal suture, the apex of the fruit is depressed, with a fossa up to 5 mm deep. The fruits are of medium size, their weight ranges from 90 to 120 g.

Taste qualities

Fig peach Belmondo tastes more intense than that of round varieties, since due to the shape of the fruit, the peel is closer to the stone, and this affects the taste. After all, the most delicious pulp of other varieties is located next to the bone, but the fig variety does not have this: a rich taste is felt in any part of the fruit.

The pulp of the peach is highly sugar-rich (about 12.63%), therefore, well-ripened fruits are sweet and spicy, with a honey flavor, almost no acid is felt in them (about 0.18%). According to the tasting assessment, the Belmondo variety deserves 4.6 points.

Ripening and fruiting

Ripening period is defined as medium late. Fruit ripening occurs in the first half of August.

Yield

The yield of mature trees is high. They are densely covered with fruits closely spaced to each other.

Growing regions

The territories of western China, Ukraine, Central Asia, Transcaucasia, eastern regions of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and other Asian republics are favorable for cultivation of the variety. In Russia, the variety is grown in the southern regions.

Growing and caring

Cultivation involves:

  • watering and feeding;
  • annual sanitary pruning with crown formation;
  • preventive measures to combat pests and diseases;
  • protection of young seedlings from freezing.

It is required to feed the plant already at planting. Further feeding is applied from the second year. Spring dressing consists of mineral and organic nitrogen fertilizers, and autumn dressing consists of potassium-phosphorus mixtures. Before winter, the trunk circle should be insulated with manure, without touching the trunk.

Fan pruning should provide maximum access to the sun's rays to the fruit. The optimal length of the branches is no more than 50 cm. The cuts are treated with garden pitch.

Spraying with 1% copper sulfate will save you from wintering spores and mycelium. Spraying is required 4 times: after the snow melts, when buds appear, before and after flowering.

Planting a peach tree is a very important step that will lay the foundation for abundant fruit production in the future. At this stage, you should choose the right seedling, find the optimal place, decide on suitable culture neighbors and prepare a hole.
Peach grafting accelerates the fruiting period, increases the resistance of the crop in cold conditions, helps to rejuvenate the old plant, while maintaining all the varietal qualities of the grafted shoot. This agrotechnical technique allows you to grow peaches even in those regions where it was previously impossible due to unfavorable climatic and weather conditions.
Peaches are quite capricious trees, therefore, without proper care and timely pruning, they will give a weak harvest or even wither away. The formation of a tree, pruning of diseased and unnecessary branches are those important manipulations, thanks to which it will be possible not only to preserve the peach tree, but also to make it abundantly fruitful.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

This variety has high winter hardiness. Late flowering gives flower buds the freedom to suffer from the spring frost. However, it is better to insulate young seedlings, especially during snowless winters. You can use agrofiber for this.

Growing a peach on your site will require a lot of effort and attention. After all, this tree is very delicate and susceptible to many diseases and pests. In order to recognize the disease in time and take appropriate measures, it is worthwhile to understand well the symptoms of diseases and the peculiarities of the lesion of the peach.

Requirements for soil and climatic conditions

Chernozem and loam are the best soil for this variety. It is best to plant a peach seedling on the south side of the garden, where there is a lot of sun and no wind. Neighboring trees or buildings should not be shadowed by the peach.

In warm climates, seedlings are planted in autumn, and in colder regions in spring.

In recent years, many gardeners have started to get involved in the cultivation of exotic trees on their plots. The breeding of the garden peach has also become popular. There are many ways to breed peach trees. Peach can be propagated by cuttings, air layers, you can grow a tree from a stone.
