In warm weather during the autumn peach planting period, the leaves do not always fall off, and they must be cut off manually. It is because of the leaf cover that the moisture of both the buds and the entire seedling evaporates.

Oleksandr Diadyura, a peach grower from Kryvyi Rih, tells about this in the material of the Ukrainian Horticulture magazine.

“A seedling blown up with foliage is already “half dead,” the expert warns.

Seedlings in autumn should be planted from about the end of October until the onset of the first frost, when they are or go into the stage of physiological dormancy. It is desirable that the wood is ripe, as well as fallen leaves. Therefore, this process depends on weather conditions.
