Variety traits

Peach tree height

Prunus persica (L.) Batsch

An important biometric characteristic of a cultivar that determines the cultivation technology, planting scheme, and crown training system for peach trees.

In the reference 35 varieties crop Peach, where this is mentioned in the description.

In peach cultivar evaluation, tree height is a key parameter that varies depending on the genetic traits of the form and the rootstock used. Under normal conditions, the tree height ranges from 3 to 5 meters; however, there are vigorous cultivars that reach 8–9 meters.

Peach tree height is a manageable trait. To optimize light regime and facilitate harvesting, various crown training systems and pruning methods are applied, while the use of dwarfing rootstocks allows for restricting vegetative growth and increasing planting density up to 2500 trees per hectare.
