Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the importance of soil maintenance and pruning methods for peach and apricot trees, providing practical recommendations based on a decade-long experiment. The author, having reviewed existing literature, sought to establish optimal soil fertility and pruning techniques for these fruit trees. The experiment involved three acres of land, three soil management methods, three pruning methods, and six varieties of peach and apricot trees. Over ten years, data was collected on tree growth, yield, and trunk diameter. The results indicate that soil fertility, particularly with respect to humus and nitrogen, is crucial for tree health and productivity. The author recommends maintaining soil fertility through leguminous cover crops, manure, and nitrogen supplements. Regarding pruning, the author suggests a long pruning system involving severe thinning out of branches without cutting back of one-year wood for the first six years, transitioning to more cutting back as the trees mature. These findings are significant for commercial fruit growers seeking to optimize peach and apricot production.
