The flowering period of peach blossoms depends largely on the temperature of the environment. In early spring, if the average temperature keeps above 10℃ for several days, the peach blossom buds will begin to bloom. If the temperature rises to about 15℃, all the peach blossoms will bloom, which is also the best time for peach blossoms to bloom, which lasts about 15 days. If the temperature during flowering continues to rise, the flowering period will be shortened, sometimes to about a week.

According to the specific month, according to the usual situation, peach blossoms begin to bloom around 10 every year, and the weather gradually gets warmer in mid-March, and peach blossoms enter the full bloom stage. After entering the end of March, the general weather will pick up, and the flowers will begin to fade slowly and enter the flower-sparing period.

Peach blossom should be light loam, and the moisture should be kept semi-humid. Not tolerant of alkaline soil, not liking the soil being too sticky, not choosing fertilizer, and other ecological habits are roughly similar to plum blossoms. However, the growth potential and branching ability are stronger than that of plum blossom, but it can't last long, and it begins to decline from about 20 years old.
