Self-fertile peach varieties for the Moscow region

These varieties of peaches for the Moscow region are good because they do not require pollination. For them, the weather does not really matter, because self-pollination occurs regardless of it, at any time. They don't even require cross-pollination.

Peach "Kyiv early"

A very good and unpretentious variety of self-fertile peach for the Moscow region. It quickly adapts to any new conditions and climatic “whims”. It is a good place to start getting acquainted with peach culture because it is easy to care for.

Warming peach for the winter

The next winter, they built a shelter in the form of a volcano hut: the branches were pulled up with ropes to the trunk, a frame was made from boards with screws, sheets of mineral wool were placed on it, covered with polyethylene from the rain and tied with ropes on top, and covered with slate from the sun on the south side. A 10-20 cm hole was left at the top for ventilation. In general, we make a shelter from available materials.

After you have saved the flower buds from winter freezing, in the spring you need to save them from damping off and early germination.

To do this, the shelter was removed in April, when there was still snow in some places. Victory Day was celebrated among blossoming peaches. Although the crop is self-pollinating, we “re-pollinated” manually - using a dust broom. There were a lot of ovaries, then some were removed.

Planting a peach

To obtain a bountiful and tasty harvest, you must take care in advance of purchasing a good peach seedling. You can do this in our online store of seedlings of Peasant Farm Farm Fruit Garden. We offer high-quality peach seedlings at affordable prices with delivery throughout Russia.

How to determine the quality of peach seedlings?

Pay attention to the root system; there should be no signs of disease; the roots should not be dry. There should be no visible damage to the tree itself.

After purchasing a peach, you should decide what time to plant it. This must be done in spring or autumn.

When choosing a landing site, certain conditions must be observed:

• good illumination of the area;
• wind protection;
• absence of tall trees planted nearby;
• you cannot plant a tree in the place where strawberries, clover, alfalfa or melons were previously grown;
• The minimum distance between a peach and another tree is at least 3 m.

In the southern regions it is recommended to plant the tree in the fall. In the northern regions, it is recommended to choose a frost-resistant peach variety and plant it in the spring so that the crop can take root well over the summer and autumn. In the middle zone, planting is carried out both in spring and autumn.

Planting in spring

If you plan to plant a peach in the spring, you should dig the planting site in the fall. The width and depth of the seat should be within 70 cm.

Place a peg in the center of the hole, to which you will later tie the seedling.

If the site has infertile soil, then when digging a hole, throw the top layer of soil to the side. In the future, use it to mix with fertilizers (compost and superphosphate with potassium). If the soil is good, it is enough to pour mineral fertilizers and wood ash into the bottom of the hole (place this composition in the center of the hole, forming a small mound out of it).

Planting a peach seedling is no different from planting other fruit trees. Place the seedling in the middle of the hole, after pouring fertilizer into it. Start burying the tree with the layer of soil that you tossed aside. After planting, water the peach with 2 buckets of water and tie it to a stake.

Planting in autumn

When planting a seedling in the fall, the hole should be dug 2-3 weeks before planting. In this case, the soil should be mixed with wood ash. and mineral fertilizers. The remaining steps must be performed in the same way as during spring planting.

After planting, the seedling needs to be hilled up high, and before frost sets in, wrap the tree trunk with burlap and make several small holes in the material for ventilation.

Anastasia Andreevna, Khimki I immediately liked the columnar peaches; it took me a long time to choose. Steinberg has proven himself excellent. I grow it in a small tub. It’s very unusual and convenient, because when it’s very cold, I bring it into the house, despite the frost resistance of the variety. It has not yet borne fruit. I'm looking forward to next year.

Vsevolod Ivanovich, Balashikha Fig peach is the most delicious and aromatic. I can recommend Saturn and low-growing varieties such as Bonanza, Balconella, etc. They are easy to care for. They can be cultivated both in a tub and in open ground.
