pruning

Nature is wise. But sometimes you need to guide her. The appearance of an adult peach tree is not a product of chance or the natural development of its growth. It is the result of the work that is done on him throughout his life. From its plantation, the peach tree is guided by the farmer who, with the skill of his scissors, gives it the necessary shape so that it reaches maximum performance.

In the first years, the tree receives training pruning. Essential. Artisan. Definitive in the subsequent development of the peach tree. The shape that the fruit tree will take in its adult stage, when it reaches maximum performance, depends on this type of pruning.

Subsequently, and throughout the life of the peach tree, cleaning and fruiting pruning are carried out.

Cleaning pruning consists of removing dry or crossed branches and suckers, and is generally carried out in winter, although it can also be done the rest of the year.

Fruiting pruning is carried out with the peach tree already adult, with its final size and in full production. Its objective is to give way to new branches to replace those that have already borne fruit.

Thanks to this process, the fruit reaches its most optimal development and size, and harvesting is facilitated.

All phases of peach cultivation are important and necessary. But pruning constitutes the foundation on which the entire subsequent process is built. It is knowledge that has been transmitted over time with practical application. From masters to apprentices. The art of scissor cutting.
