Saplings are placed at a distance of 3-5 m from each other and from neighboring fruit crops. If the distance is less, then the plants will begin to shade their neighbors, this reduces the yield. The culture prefers sunny areas. Trees are watered as the soil dries up, young ones more often - 2 times a week, 1 bucket per tree. The soil should be wetted to a depth of 50 cm. In general, the agricultural technology of this species is quite simple and similar to other varieties of Canadian selection.

It is imperative to normalize the number of ovaries. Branches break off under the weight of the harvest. Fruit overload increases the ripening time, and the size of the peaches decreases. The crown needs regular thinning in the fall or spring.
