Peach from bone, landing and care. How to grow peach from bone at home

Growing a peach from a bone is not myth and not fiction. This is a completely real and efficient way of reproduction of fruit tree. As you know, at present, the thermal-loving peach is growing not only in the southern regions, but also in a colder terrain, with severe winters. And even there successfully practiced the method of cultivating the fruit tree from the bone. Naturally, to successfully grow peach from the bone at the cottage, the preservation site and even in the apartment will take patience, time and knowledge of key agrotechnical techniques. How to put a peach bone, what kind of germination method is to apply and how to care for seedlings, read in this selection of material.

How to grow peach from a bone?

To grow peach from bone at home, most importantly - pick up high-quality planting material (peach bones) and land and care for seedlings according to the main agrotechnical rules.

The combustion algorithm of peach from the bone is absolutely simple, trivial and conditionally divided into the following steps:

First of all, they choose high-quality and ripe fruits peach (detailed information in subparagraph "Selection of landing material").
The next step is to prepare bones to landing (detailed information in subparagraph "Selecting a method of bone preparation").
An important and responsible stage - landing the bones in the ground (detailed information in the item "How to plant a peach from a bone?").
Final point - care for peach seedlings (detailed information in the section "How to care for peach seedlings?").

Consider the nuances and features of each of the above-mentioned stages.

Selection of peach bones for growing

Choosing the fruit of peach onto the bone landing, it is better to stop its attention on local zoned varieties. Imported varieties, which beautiful they would not look, are often not suitable for landing in our regions. First, the fruit, most likely, were torn in the phase of technical maturity for transportation and subsequent ripening, and therefore the seeds did not ripen, and germinate will not be able. Secondly, many varieties of acquired peaches (especially "Southerners") are not capable of full development in local (especially, harsh) climatic conditions.
For the landing of a peach from the bone, it is better to harvest several fruits, given the seed germination and the possible death of individual seedlings.
All selected fruits should be ripe, soft, large, without signs of the disease or damage.
You should not take fruit from the graft peach tree, as the characteristic of the variety will differ from the parent instance. To preserve the varietal signs, it is necessary to take fruit from the cornesological plant.
Choosing a particular variety for planting a peach, it is important to pay attention to such characteristics as: winter hardiness, maturation time, self-polling capacity. So, the regions with cold winters should be given to the preferences by frost-resistant peach varieties ("Amnceden", "Kiev Early", "Early Mignon", "Sea Schlicht"). To obtain a crop throughout the summer, it is advisable to plant several varieties with different maturity time ("early rivers", "Winner", Nectarin White, "Redcheven"). And in order to achieve the highest possible yields - it is necessary to land on the site 3-4 of the variety of peach ("Nobles", Nectarin Krasnodar "," Mayra "," Kremlin "," Victors "," Big Hani "), providing 100% pollution of the inflorescences of the plant.

Selecting a peach bone preparation method for growing

The selected bones are washed from the pulp residues, dried and removed into a dry and cool place.

Prepare and germinate peach bones can be major, three ways:

Cold Peach Peach Preparation Method for Growing

This method involves the mandatory stratification of seeds, which improves the germination and resilience of the future tree. Stratification passes at low positive temperatures, in a refrigeration chamber or basement, and includes the following steps:

In a shallow container, wet sand (or peat) pour into which the prepared bones are placed.
The depth of seelings of the bone - 7-8 cm.
Capacity with bones is closed with a polyethylene package with air holes, and placed in a cool place for the entire winter. You can not close the container at all, but, then, the substrate will be moisturized in more often.
During the stratification, the capacity periodically ventilate and moisturize the sand from the pulverizer. You can not allow oveurgement, as seeds can be contrary. It is also undesirable to dry the substrate.
The first sprouts from swelling bones appear in 3-4 months, after which the seedlings are planted into a separate container.

A quick way to prepare peach bones for growing

This method provides exhausted

the entry of seeds from the bone, which contributes to a more rapid germination of seedlings and landing seeds in the fall. To grow peach in this way, it is necessary to perform such conditions:

The prepared peach bones are splitted with a knife or hammer, so as not to damage the integrity of the core of the bone.
The obtained seeds are poured with warm water for 2-3 days and leave swell. Water must be changed daily.
Wake-up seeds are planted into separate pots (with drainage holes) to a depth of about 6-7 cm.
For successful germination, landing is regularly moisturized, ventilated and maintain a positive temperature. For this, a small improvised greenhouse is best suited - when the pot is covered with glass or film.
It is important to regularly ventilate the "greenhouse", not allowing pickling seeds and the proceeding sprouts. After germination of seeds, film (glass) is cleaned.

Warm way to prepare peach bones for growing

The method is based on the germination of the bones in the room, in the pot, with a positive comfortable temperature in natural conditions of daylight. To implement the process, a certain phaseaction should also be observed:

Wash and dried bones are subjected to short-term stratification. For this, they are placed in the refrigerator for 1.5-2 weeks.
After stratification, the bones are soaked for 2-3 hours in the growth stimulator solution.
Next, the bones are planted into the container with a moistened loose substrate to a depth of about 7-8 cm.
Capacities are covered with glass or film, providing a "greenboat" regular daily ventilation and moderate moisturizing.
Containers (more often flower pots) exhibit the windowsill and germinate in vivo, at room temperature.
After about 3-4 months, the first shoots appear, after which the film (glass) is removed.

How to plant a peach from the bone?

It is possible to grow a peach from the bone on the cottage or a household plot in several ways.

There are 2 ways to plant a bone: a germinated bone is planted into a separate container (with a subsequent transplanting to the street or, leaving the village as a houseplant) or planted immediately into the open ground. About how to germinate a peach bone was described above.

Landing peach bones in open ground:

The planting of peach bones is carried out, as a rule, in the fall, in October-November month. This period is the most favorable for planting bones in the garden. With this method of planting a bone, as a rule, do not soak. The bones overwhelmed in the ground are natural stratification, the rejection and spring germinate the most hardened and strong copies. In regions of a moderate soft climate, the bones can be planted in an open ground throughout the growing season: in spring, summer and autumn.
The place for landing in the garden is chosen solar, well lit, protected from drafts and gusty winds with artificial or natural buildings and fences. You can also use hills to avoid unwanted moisture. The thermal-loving peach prefers the southern or southeastern location.
Even in the botany section, it was described that a peach, grown from the bone, begins to first form the root, and then escape. In this regard, it is important that the soil in the garden was loose, soft and fertile. So, the spine will successfully develop and strengthen. In heavy clay soils, the peach seed is unlikely to be able to germinate. With scant in the composition of the soils, it is better to make fertilizers, and the tight soil dilute peat, small sawdust or sand.
The landing of the seeds can be carried out by "row" or chaotic, if desired. Over time, grown (up to 90-100 cm) and the strengthened seedlings transplant to a permanent place.
The landing scheme is also practiced. The "meadow garden", when 50 cm left between the plants, 2 m, and between the rows - 2 m. This scheme is acceptable in large areas and allows you to get good crops of peaches.
Some gardeners practice landing a bone immediately to the place where it is planned to grow a tree. In the spring, there are 2-3 strongest and healthy seedlings among germs. In the future, as plants grow, they leave one sapling - the future fruit tree.
The depth of seelings in the garden - about 6-7 cm, with a distance between them - 20-25 cm.
After landing, the garden is watered with water and plan landing space so that in the spring it is randomly not to rinse the emerging shoots.
On the eve of winter, the place of landing the bones is better to cover the thick layer of leaves, sawdust and other natural materials. In the spring, the shelter is cleaned.

Landing peach bones in container

Pots for landing bones should be taken with drainage holes, use light fertile soil. A mixture of peat, sand, humidiation and leaf land will be perfectly suitable (in the 1: 1: 1: 1 ratio). You can buy a ready-made mixture intended for planting seedlings and add part of river sand into it.
The main activities are care for seedlings: moderate watering, ventilation, sufficient lighting and constant temperature regime. During the rest, the village contains in a cool room with a temperature of +2 - 4 ° C. In the spring, it is transferred to a warmer place, where the temperature is +10 - 15 ° C, then placed in the room at 18 - 25 ° C.
With proper care for seeders, in 2-3 months they grow up to 50 cm.
For the entire period of growing seedlings, there will be 3 transplants. The first transplant is carried out in the development phase in the village of 8-10 leaves, with the main root slightly shorten, leaving 5-6 cm below the root neck. The second transplantation is carried out when the seedling will reach the height of 80-90 cm, the central trunk is additionally cut, the process of fruiting. The third transplant is carried out at a permanent place.
Ground peach seedlings are planted in an open soil in spring or autumn. When landing several seedlings, leave the interval between trees at least 2-3 meters.
Before boarding, a landing pit is prepared, a depth of about 0.5 m, depending on the size of the root system. Organic fertilizers are added to the pit and seedlings are planted, tightly tamping the earth.
After landing, the young tree is watered (under the root), and the rolling circle is mounted.

How to care for peach seedlings from bone?

In addition to good lighting and fertile water-permeable soil, other, important, factors affect the development of seedlings.

Watering. Soil, after planting the bone, should be constantly moisturized, without drying or stagnation of moisture. A seedling chosen in an open soil (or in a container) also needs regular irrigation, with the exception of preparation for the winter period, when watering is reduced, and over time, and completely stop.
Feeding From spring and before the beginning of autumn, the peach seedlings "feed" every 2-3 weeks. It is advisable to alternate organic and mineral complexes as fertilizers. From the organic, it is preferable to use diluted with humus. In order not to "burn" the young roots of a seedling, the recommended concentration of the solution is reduced, diluting the drug in a larger amount of water.
Transfer. If the peach bone was planted in open ground immediately at a permanent place - a plants are not needed. Saplings planted in a container or shovel as they grow to need an additional transplant.
Trimming. The development of side (thickening) shoots, the height of the main trunk, exceeding 70 cm and the thickness of the trunk, just more than the thickness of the pencil - features indicating the need to form a crown of a young seedling. Pruning is carried out in spring, leaving side, fruiting branches. As a rule, in the first year, the pruning is not carried out. From the 2nd year, they begin to carry out the forming trimming, from the 3rd year of life - the formation of a saplings "on the bowl". Using the principle of trimming the "fruit" leaves two full-fledged escapes.

Preparation for winter. For the winter, young fucking peach seedlings are better to cover the burlap, the barrel is wrapped with non-woven material, the soil flood with a thick layer of the huskoth or foliage. It is especially important to warm seedlings in the northern regions with severe winters.
Fighting diseases. Young peach seedlings are very susceptible to, various kinds, diseases. Therefore, in preventive purposes, the annual spring spraying of seedlings insecticidal and fungicidal drugs is carried out (for example, "Ridomil", "Tiovit").

Thus, care for a peach seedling from bone in the country is not complicated, but long, and only after 3-4 years the plant will begin to be fron.

Some gardeners practice peach cultivation as a home, indoor plant. Terms of care are similar to the above requirements. The only exception is the regular pinching of the treetper, which prevents peach growth in height. In addition, as the fruitful culture grows, it will have to transplant the village to a more spacious container.

Advantages and disadvantages of grinding peach bone

Peaches grown from bone at home, have a number of advantages and disadvantages. Consider all the pros and cons of this method.

The peach tree grown from the bone is distinguished by increased endurance (including diseases and adverse climatic conditions) and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
The trees "bone" have a longer period of life than landed seedlings landed.

Disadvantages of grinding peach bone

The fruits, the grown tree of peach bone may differ from the mother grade, both the appearance and taste.
Low percentage of peach seeds.
A longer period of fertility waiting, starting not earlier than the 4th year of the life of the plant.

Secrets of grinding peach bone

As is known, peach is a culture of ampass, but you can achieve the earliest time of the fruiting of the fruiting trees. To do this, you should choose frost-resistant varieties, fruiting before the rest and trimming, removing the central trunk.
Excellent results gives landing of peppermint near peach trees. Mint is able to restore the soil microflora, to prevent the moisture and protect the seedling from freezing or drying the soil.
To decoke and update the soil before planting a peach bone, it is poured into a glass jar, poured with water and leave in the microwave for 10 minutes.
