The introduction of the birthday peach, the difference between the birthday peach and the peach tree

In many areas of our country, peach trees are planted, birthday peaches.

It is one of them, the fruit of the birthday peach is generally orange-yellow and reddish, the size is generally about 7 cm, the core has grooves and deep pittings, and contains white seeds. Most of the flower friends' planted longevity peaches can bear fruit after flowering, but most of them are small peaches, which will not grow too big, and the fruit drop is also very serious, and they will fall off if they don't grow up again. For the birthday peach that has borne fruit, in the first week and the third week after the flower withering, we have to comb the fruit twice, generally each branch is not the same, mainly depends on the size of the branch, in fact, we don't need to leave too much, if you leave too much, it will consume nutrients, depending on the situation, leave a few for ornamentation, you must not be greedy when combing, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, you can watch it is enough.

Because the birthday peach itself is an ornamental plant, we can't ask too much for it, and leave a few to eat while watching, if you want to maintain it in order to eat, then you can try other fruit trees that are planted in the ground, and the conditions do not allow it to be potted, but the pot space is limited, the potted plant can not grow too big, and the taste is relatively poor without professional maintenance. Generally speaking, the fruiting tree flowers are single-petaled, because there will be two kinds of pistils and stamens, which will pollinate and bear fruit, and the petals of double-petaled flowers are generally mutated from pistils and stamens, so they will not bear fruit in this case, of course, individual ones will also bear fruit under special circumstances, so generally speaking, ornamental birthday peaches are not very fruitful, if you want to buy fruiting peach trees, you can buy single-petal flowers.

The propagation of Shouxing peach is mainly grafted, grafting is mostly cut or bud grafting, spring, summer and autumn are all grafting work, the choice of grafting wood can be peach, can also be grafted with plum trees, if it is cut flowers can be carried out in spring bud germination, bud grafting can be carried out in early August to early September every year, Shouxing day plants generally do not need to be pruned to maintain a good crown shape, as long as attention is paid to pruning dry and dead branches after flowering, and properly pruning and combing branches to keep the plant ventilatedThe grafted seedlings can bloom and bear fruit in 1 to 3 years, and the trees can bloom in 4 to 8 years.

Makino is a small deciduous tree of the Rosaceae family, a variant of the common peach. The plants are dwarf, with short internodes and dense flower buds. The flowering period is in full bloom from April, and the flowering period is about half a month.

The fruit ripens in September. Basal fertilizer is generally applied after the leaves fall in winter. Apply a comprehensive liquid fertilizer based on phosphorus and potassium before the shade of flowers and leaves in spring, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once after flowering, and then apply a lighter phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every half a month or so.

Fertilizer application is stopped in summer, and comprehensive fertilizer is applied twice after September. After the flowers bloom, in addition to retaining some flowers with good growth and good position, the useless flowers are thinned, which is the key to the Shouxing peach to bear excellent fruits.

1. Breeding method of birthday peach:

1) The birthday peach blooms in April, with bright colors and high ornamental value. The root system is well developed, adaptable, and grows rapidly, and new shoots can be sent several times a year. However, the lifespan is short, and the growth begins to weaken after about 15 years.

2) The propagation of Shouxing peach can be used as rootstock for budding and cutting from July to September and spring germination, and the survival rate is higher.

3) Birthday peach potted plants, mostly in autumn or early spring before germination. When potting, choose the appropriate tile pot according to the size of the plant, and put a little base fertilizer. After flowering in spring, the flower branches should be shortened, according to the thickness and strength of the branches, they should be cut off 1 3 to promote the growth of new branches, and the overly dense branches that affect ventilation and light transmission should be repaired, and the branches that grow vigorously should be topped in summer to facilitate the filling of branches and the formation of flower buds.

4) When watering potted birthday peaches, it is necessary to pay attention not to make the soil too wet, and it is better to be semi-dry, but too dry will also cause leaf fall, especially when the water evaporation is large in summer, water should be replenished in time.

5) Potted birthday peaches should not be fertilized, especially not too much nitrogen fertilizer, so as not to grow vigorously and not conducive to the formation of flower buds. Before the differentiation of flower buds in July, according to the growth situation, 2-3 times of fertilizer based on phosphate fertilizer was applied, which was conducive to the differentiation and development of flower buds.

2. The flower language of the birthday peach has a grand exhibition, the peach and plum are all over the world, symbolizing spring, there is a saying of peach blossom luck, the slave of love, and the peach has the righteousness of longevity.

What he was holding in his hand was not an ordinary peach, but a longevity peach. It is a longevity fairy fruit specially offered by the Queen Mother's peach meeting.

According to the record in "New Sou Shen Ji Samsung Gaozhao Birthday Star", the legend of this immortal peach is that it blooms in three thousand years and bears fruit in three thousand years, and it becomes immortal and immortal immediately after eating. It is because of the meaning of longevity that the birthday star will hold the fairy peach in his hand.

Shoujiu is a folk longevity belt stuffy products, popular in the north and south of China, is one of the birthday gifts. Wine is homophonic with long, and people are blessed with longevity.

The picture of Fu Lu Shou is generally hung in the middle hall to celebrate. The birthday star refers to the person who is congratulated, wishing him a long life. In some pictures, there are also children looking up at flying bats, suggesting "longing for happiness".

Legend has it that Sun Bin left his hometown at the age of 18 and went to Yunmeng Mountain, thousands of miles away, to worship Guiguzi as a teacher and learn the art of war. It has been twelve years, and on the fifth day of May that year, Sun Bin suddenly thought: "Today is my mother's 80th birthday."

So he asked the master for leave to go home to visit his mother. The master picked a peach and gave it to Sun Bin and said, "You can't repay your mother's kindness when you study art abroad, I will give you a peach to bring back to Lingtang for longevity." ”

Sun Bin returned home and took out the peach from his arms and gave it to his mother. Unexpectedly, before the old mother finished eating the peach, her face became younger, and the whole family was very happy.

People heard that Sun Bin's mother had become younger after eating peaches, and she also wanted her parents to live a long and healthy life, so they all followed Sun Bin and sent fresh peaches to celebrate their birthdays when their parents celebrated their birthdays.

Sending longevity peach is one of the traditional folk customs of the Han nationality, symbolizing the filial piety of the younger generation to the old-timers, whenever the elderly have a birthday, the children should send longevity peach to the elderly, in order to wish the elderly health, longevity, happiness. In the old days, people believed that the elderly would become younger and live longer after eating longevity peaches.

Why are peaches so important on birthdays? This is probably related to the belief of the ancient Han people in the peach tree and the myth and legend of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Divine Sutra records: "There is a tree in the east, fifty zhang high, and its name is peach." Its son is three feet three inches in diameter, and the core delicacy, which makes people longevity. It can be seen that the peach tree is a sacred tree and fairy tree, and its fruit can increase longevity.

"Collecting Memories" also recorded: "Crab Mountain went to Fusang for 50,000 miles, and it was too late in the day." The ground is cold, the peach tree is surrounded by a thousand circles, and its flowers are blue and black, long live a food. The peach tree on this crab mountain is "long live a meal", and eating it can certainly prolong people's lives.

This fairy wood also. "It has been officially recognized here that the peach tree is a fairy tree, and since it is called "immortal", it certainly has the meaning of longevity.

Shou Tao, in the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing people were not called Shou Tao, but called Turtle Tao. The turtle peach evolved from the noodle turtle and the noodle peach. "Sacrificial Chronicles" said that in ancient times, the turtle was made with noodles, and the peach was used to pray for longevity, and later it was simplified as one, and it was called the turtle peach in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the custom of giving "longevity peaches" to people, it should be traced back to the legend of the Queen Mother of the West giving peaches to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. According to Han folklore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired the way of immortals, and the Queen Mother of the West sent a messenger to inform her that she would come at a certain time. At seven o'clock on the night of July 7, the Queen Mother of the West came to the west side of the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in a cloud car.

There are three blue birds, standing on the left and right of the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty five big peaches and told him: "This is an immortal fruit that only bears fruit once in 3,000 years."

The gift of peach here implies the meaning of giving longevity. This is the reason why today's people put longevity peaches and give longevity peaches to the elderly on their birthdays.

Chinese painters Qi Baishi and Zhu Xuanxian's Shou Tao paintings are a very successful embodiment of the traditional Chinese Shou Tao culture.
