Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cultivation of the Peach and the Pear: On the Delaware and Chesapeake Peninsula The Peach is closely allied to the Cherry, the Plum, the Apricot and the Almond, and, according to Prof. George Thurber, although usually called Amyga'alus Persz'ea now comes under the genus Prunus and will hereafter be likely referred to as Prunus Persz'ca. It originated in the East; Persia, or most probably China, and in this latter country has been cultivated for centuries. Darwin inclines to the view that the Peach is derived from the Almond, giving his reasons pro and can, and Ithink his conclusions are the ones generally accepted at the present time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-to-date guide for commercial and residential peach growers . . . With an estimated one million trees producing almost fifty million pounds of fruit per year, Texas is a leading producer of peaches, and several popular seasonal festivals highlight the widespread enjoyment of and interest in this delicious, versatile fruit.

With discussions ranging from site selection to marketing ideas, Texas Peach Handbook covers the basics of peach cultivation—planting, pruning, fertilizing, watering, protecting, thinning, harvesting—and gives both instruction on disease and insect control and advice on the financial aspects of the peach business. The authors also direct readers to other, more detailed or technical sources, for those who want to learn more about a given topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "peach growing" is used to describe the process of tending to peach trees in order to harvest the fruit. To ensure a healthy and abundant yield, peach trees require a number of specific care and cultivation techniques. The following are examples of such methods: 1. Successful peach cultivation requires careful site selection, including consideration of factors such as soil drainage, exposure to sunlight, and shelter from wind. 2. Variety Selection: There are several peach varieties, each with varied qualities like as flavor, size, and cold resistance. Depending on the growing conditions and consumer preferences, farmers choose which types to cultivate. 3. Peach trees should be planted at the appropriate depth and spaced apart. Correct spacing allows for healthy air flow, which plays a role in disease avoidance. 4. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain the tree's shape, stimulate the most fruit growth, and get rid of any unhealthy or dead branches. 5. Fertilization: Giving the tree what it needs to thrive, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, is crucial for producing quality fruit. 6. Common pests like aphids and illnesses like brown rot must be controlled if the peach crop is to be protected. 7. Drought stress can be avoided with regular and sufficient irrigation, which is especially important during dry years. 8. Peach trees need to be thinned during the growth season so that the surviving fruit has room to grow and adequate nutrition. 9. Peaches should be collected when they are ripe but not overripe, therefore it's crucial to know at the right time to harvest them. Peaches are ripe when they are firm but give just a little when gently pressed. 10. After picking, peaches should be handled gently to prevent bruising; from there, they can be kept, sold, or processed into things like jams, pies, and canned peaches. To achieve a fruitful and high-quality harvest, peach growers must pay close attention to detail and have a solid grasp on the special requirements of peach trees. Climate, soil, and the individual tastes of the producer all have an impact on the methods used.
