Persians are lovers of gardeners. These are fragrant juicy fruits, in each slice of which the taste of summer is literally felt. But sometimes trees grow years, but there are no fruits. There may be several reasons, and almost all of them are solved.
Inappropriate variety
If the tree has taken root well, but persistently does not give a crop, it is worth checking if this variety is suitable for your climate. Some species are simply not able to develop outside certain weather conditions. It is better to choose varieties tested in your area in advance.
Lack of sun
Persian is a solar culture. He can grow in the shade, but not to wait for the fruits from him. If the tree is planted against the wall, near large trees or under a canopy, it may not have enough light. The transplant is a radical, but effective way to solve the problem.
Pruning and formation
Without proper trimming, the crown is thickened, and the light does not penetrate inside. The kidneys suffer, as the tree gives strength to excess branches. The result of this will be a thick existing crop. It is better to form a crown in early spring. Remove old and damaged shoots.
Soil and nutrition
If the tree does not receive the necessary elements, it is simply not able to tie the fruits. In the spring, a peach needs nitrogen to increase green mass, in the summer it needs potassium and phosphorus for the development of ovaries. Fertilizers are dosed, given the age and condition of the tree.
Moisture lack
Even a strong tree will drop flowers and ovaries if the roots do not get enough water. Drought is especially dangerous during flowering. Watering should be regular and moderate. The roots do not like stagnation of moisture, but they are afraid of drying out.
Illnesses, pests and frosts
The fungus, aphids, ticks and spring frosts can destroy the crop that has not even appeared. Regular inspection, preventive processing helps. In the event of a threat of frost at night, a tree should be covered.
Polling: the key to the formation of fruits
Some varieties do not fruit alone. If there are no suitable pollinating trees nearby, the ovaries are not formed. Often it is enough to plant another variety of peach, and the situation will improve.
Persian fruiting is the result of a systematic approach. Having eliminated the problems, you will return the tree strength and next season you will collect a decent crop.
