With its firm pit, the peach belongs to the stone fruits or drupes (apricot, plum, cherry). The origin of the peach is in China; the tree and fruit came to Europe via Persia. Peaches are grown in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea.
\nNectarines are peaches with smooth skin; that of the peach is somewhat felty.
\nAlthough peaches are native to warmer climates, many varieties grow well in the UK provided they are in a warm, sunny, sheltered, south- or south-west facing position. Because peaches bloom as early as April, the risk of damage from night frost is high. Flowering and later fruit setting can be profuse, making thinning of the fruit (only a few peaches per branch) necessary for a good harvest.
\nAnnual fertilization keeps the tree healthy.
\nPruning during flowering. Excess new shoots in summer can be removed in June.
\nThe peach is very susceptible to Peach leaf curl<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Bugs” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”entrytxt”]<\/p>\n

Fruits remain small and do not ripen: after abundant flowering, there are excess fruits.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":14,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"encyclopedia-category":[653],"encyclopedia-tag":[],"class_list":["post-13851","encyclopedia","type-encyclopedia","status-publish","hentry","encyclopedia-category-vegetable-garden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia\/13851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/encyclopedia"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13851"},{"taxonomy":"encyclopedia-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia-category?post=13851"},{"taxonomy":"encyclopedia-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia-tag?post=13851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
