Growing and care

Peach Inca is an unpretentious crop to grow, but in order to get good yields, you will need to observe certain conditions of care. The hybrid grows well on soils of neutral acidity (pH 6.5-7.5). The soil should be fertile and with good moisture exchange.

The landing site should be chosen carefully. It should be as illuminated as possible and protected from drafts. The south side of the plot is ideal for this. If you plan to plant several plants, then the distance between them should be at least 1.5-2 m.

The landing pit is prepared in advance. A drainage layer must be laid at the bottom of the hole. The roots do not tolerate stagnation of water at all. It is preferable to purchase seedlings with a closed root system, preferably in a nursery. Then you can be 100% sure that you have bought the Inka peach variety.Exclude specimens with signs of disease on shoots and roots, with dry or damaged branches.

If the seedling is without an earthen coma, then a day before planting it is soaked in a solution that stimulates the formation of roots. It is also necessary to prepare a fertile soil mixture consisting of compost, sand, wood ash, sawdust and mineral fertilizers (phosphorus and potassium). This is necessary for the successful rooting of the tree.

A mound of soil is made in the hole, on which the seedling is installed, watered abundantly and carefully filled with the remaining soil mixture. Gently rammed and watered again abundantly. Next week, a layer of sawdust, straw or dry grass is laid around the tree.

Further care consists in moderate watering, top dressing and regular pruning. The peach should be watered several times a month. If a prolonged drought is established, the frequency of irrigation is increased. One tree takes about 20-30 liters of water at a time.

The first few years do not need to be fed. Starting from 3 years of development, in the spring, the soil is enriched with organic matter, and with the beginning of flowering and the formation of fruits, potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are applied: strictly under the root, after digging up the soil.

Pruning is carried out several times a year. In the spring, a shaping procedure is carried out. It is carried out before flowering. The branches are removed that go deep into the trunk and down, dry and with signs of disease. Shoots are cut off almost completely, leaving at the level of 4-5 buds. Peach Inca is not afraid of pruning, it quickly gains green mass. Pruning will be sanitary in the fall.

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 wither away altogether. 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.
