The key to successful peach cultivation: choosing the right variety to ensure stable yields. Therefore, for gardeners who trust quality, the Golden Jubilee peach remains one of the favorite varieties. After all, its positive characteristics and varietal characteristics can satisfy all the requirements of modern gardening.
Landing
It is better to plant this Yubileiny peach variety in the spring, so that by winter it has time to get stronger and take root. It is important to choose a location on a hill, protected from drafts. Also, the Golden Jubilee peach variety loves sunlight very much, so in a dark place the fruits will be bad.
It is important to adhere to crop rotation and not plant this fruit where strawberries, melons or nightshades were previously grown. This can cause verticillium.
The hole is dug in advance. If the plant is planted in the spring, then it is necessary to prepare the place in the fall.
The soil is mixed with the following fertilizers:
- compost - 1-2 kg;
- humus - 2-3 kg;
- ash - 250 g;
- potassium chloride - 60 g;
- superphosphate - 65 g.
Then the resulting nutrient mixture is poured into a small mound in the center of the hole. A peach of the Yubileiny variety is placed in the center of the hole, its roots are carefully straightened and covered with soil. After this, water generously with 2 buckets of water.
The nuances of planting a tree
In order for the peach tree to fully develop, and for the harvest to please you with its quantity and quality, it is necessary to plant the plant correctly, as well as carry out all the care measures. And in early August, enjoy the excellent taste of juicy, aromatic fruits.
Timing
The favorable period for planting seedlings of the Golden Jubilee variety is spring and autumn. The planting time depends on the climate conditions of the growing region. For the Middle Zone, early spring planting is recommended: the last days of April. Over the course of the season, the young tree will grow stronger and accumulate strength to endure the harsh winter. In the southern regions, you can plant seedlings in the fall, but do this a month before the onset of the first frost.
Preparing the landing site
When choosing a place for planting Golden Jubilee peaches, preference should be given to areas well lit by the sun and protected from the wind. When wood is shaded, poor formation of generative buds will occur. This will lead to the formation of small and tasteless fruits. A good solution would be to allocate the southwestern or southern side of the site to the peach tree.
The quality of the harvest is determined by the soil on which the fruit trees grow, so it must be fertile. The best alternative is loose, sandy or loamy soils with a high degree of aeration.
Before planting, dig up the area where the seedling will be planted. This will help saturate the soil with oxygen and remove various weeds and their roots.
Planting seedlings
For successful cultivation, you need to competently perform the planting process, which consists of the following steps:
The Golden Jubilee peach variety, planted in the garden, will bring a lot of gifts: bliss to the taste buds, clean air to the lungs, joy to the eyes.
Diseases and pests
When grown in a small garden, Golden Jubilee is often attacked by pests. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out preventive spraying:
- During bud formation, the tree can be attacked by bud weevils and aphids. It is possible to fight them with the drugs Horus and Enzhio; 5 g of medication is used per 10 liters of water.
- After flowering ends, it is affected by fruit moths, aphids and codling moths. To combat these insects, Skora and Aktellika are used.
- After harvesting, it is necessary to trim off all dry and damaged branches. This will protect against wintering pests.
To prevent the development of diseases, trees need to be treated with insecticides and fungicides. Before flowering begins, it is useful to spray the branches with a solution of copper sulfate.
During the formation of ovaries and at the beginning of summer, you can treat the peach with Topsin M, Delan or Abiga Peak. It is also important to immediately remove all carrion, and in the fall to carefully loosen the soil around the trunk.
Peach aftercare
Peach roots need access to oxygen. The tree trunk circle is regularly loosened and freed from weeds. The rest of the care is standard.
Watering is carried out several times a season, abundantly wetting the soil. If the weather is rainy, then there is no need to additionally moisten the soil. Enough natural moisture.
For abundant fruiting, fertilizing is used. They are introduced in the second year after planting, if the pit has been filled according to all the rules. Preference is given to phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
To increase winter hardiness and productivity, the crown must be trimmed. Formation is carried out throughout the season. In the spring they prune “at the pink bud”, then in mid-summer and after harvesting.
In the spring, dry, broken, twisted branches are cut out. Rejuvenate old peaches. In the summer, sanitary cleaning is carried out, diseased and thickening shoots are removed. In the fall, the crown is formed and branches broken from the harvest are removed.
After harvesting, the tree is prepared for winter. The trunk is cleared of old bark, all wounds and cracks are covered with garden varnish, and treated with lime with the addition of copper sulfate. In late autumn, moisture-charging watering is carried out so that the roots and shoots do not dry out in winter. To do this, the soil around the seedling is generously moistened with water to a depth of 50 cm.
Important! In the northern regions in the middle zone, the trunk is additionally insulated and the trunk circle is mulched with organic matter. The thickness of the mulch layer is up to 15 cm.
Preparing a tree for winter
The Golden Jubilee peach variety loves warmth, so it should be covered for the winter. To do this, drive 2 small pegs into the soil near the tree and carefully wrap them and the trunk with thick fabric; burlap is better suited.
For the winter, the Golden Jubilee is best insulated with burlap
If the winter is not too severe, it is enough to hill the trunk to 60-70 cm. The soil around the tree is mulched with humus or peat, the layer thickness should be at least 10-15 cm.
Rules for planting peach
The Golden Jubilee peach variety can be grafted onto almonds and cherry plums, and the tree bears fruit equally well. Experienced gardeners recommend using apricot as a rootstock.
Recommended timing
In the recommended regions, Golden Jubilee peach planting is planned for the fall. In the middle zone, the variety is planted in early spring.
The main rule is to plant a tree when it is in its dormant period. In the spring before the sap begins to flow, in the fall - after leaf fall.
Choosing a suitable location
It has been noticed that the Golden Jubilee peach grows well and develops only on loose, sandy loam or loamy soils.
The landing site is chosen to be quiet, windless, well-lit, and with low groundwater levels. The southern, southwestern or western side of the site is ideal. It will be good if one side of the tree is surrounded by a fence, wall or other buildings.
Important! When planting, avoid low-lying and swampy areas. Overwatering causes the roots to hurt.
Selection and preparation of planting material
Further fruiting and viability depend on what the seedling is like. When choosing planting material, you need to pay attention to the following factors:
- root system;
- skeletal branches;
- vaccination site;
- age of the tree.
For planting, choose an annual seedling with a well-developed root system. This type of plant takes root best. The roots should be without visible damage, not dry, not affected by disease, and white when cut. The skeletal branches of the tree are symmetrical.
Particular attention should be paid to the vaccination site. A good root collar is solid, without sagging or sap.
If transportation is to be carried out, the peach roots are wrapped in damp cloth and packed in a bag. Before planting, the seedling is soaked for 12 hours in a bucket of water so that the shoots are saturated with moisture.
Important! In autumn, the seedlings are not soaked before planting.
Landing algorithm
The pit for planting is prepared in advance. Its standard size is 50 x 50 cm. The area is dug up, mineral fertilizers and organic matter are added. It is advisable to use ash, manure, superphosphate.
When starting planting, fertile soil is mixed with complex mineral fertilizers. The seedling is placed in the center of the hole, the roots are straightened and sprinkled with soil. Pack well and water abundantly. The tree trunk circle is mulched with humus or straw.
Use in cooking
These sweet fruits are often used to prepare for the winter. Peach jam is especially tasty. To prepare it, take 2-3 kg of fruit, 1 kg of sugar and 2 liters of water.
- Wash all the fruits thoroughly, peel them, remove the seeds and cut them in any convenient way. Then put it in a saucepan.
- Add sugar and water. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- When the sugar has melted, leave on the fire for another 15 minutes. Then put into jars and roll up.
To preserve all the beneficial properties of the Jubilee peach, they can be dried. This product is added to compotes, jams or used to prepare medicines. First you need to wash and pit them. Then heat the oven to 70°C.
Next, the fruits are placed on a baking sheet and placed in the oven for 30 minutes. Then the gas is turned off and the drying is left in the oven for another hour. Afterwards, you need to turn on the gas again so that the fruits dry evenly.

Columnar peach Jubilee (early) Columnar peach Jubilee (early) Prunus persica columnar Jubilee
Planting: Jubilee peach seedlings with an open root system should be planted in early spring before the buds swell or in the fall after the leaves fall. Planting container plants is possible from March to December. We choose a place for the peach that is sufficiently lit and sunny. We clear the land of weeds, especially perennial ones. The size of the planting hole depends on the size of the seedling: at least 40 cm deep, about 60-80 cm in diameter. Carefully remove the plant from the container so as not to damage the earthen ball. If the seedling is bare-rooted, then pour a small earthen mound into the bottom of the hole, place the plant on it and straighten the moistened roots. Fill the hole with fertile soil and tamp it lightly. It is important that the root collar is 3-5 cm above ground level. To improve the collection of rainwater, we form a tree trunk circle using an earthen roller. Water generously so that the soil is sufficiently saturated with moisture.
Type of soil/soil: loose, medium-loamy soil that allows air and moisture to pass through is best. Peach should be periodically fed with organic and mineral fertilizers. The amount and composition of fertilizing depends on the quality of the soil. We recommend using old organic humus from composted manure, or compost from kitchen and garden waste. This especially needs to be done on poor sandy soils (Polesie, most of the Kyiv region). Organics improve the quality characteristics of “light” soils. It is high time to forget the harmful Soviet ideas about the destruction of nature for the benefit of humanity, and separate waste, as they do in Europe, thereby showing concern for our future.
Watering: during the entire growing season before harvesting, peach is watered 2-3 times if it is an early variety, and 4-6 times in the case of mid-season and late varieties. To prevent the fruits from cracking, we carry out the first watering only when the seed in the fruit has hardened. A month before harvesting, the tree should be watered to increase the sugar content of the fruit. The volume of water is 30-60 liters per 1 m² of tree trunk circle. During the period of flower bud formation, water consumption is increased to 40-70 liters. Water should saturate the ground to a depth of 60-80 cm. To increase the winter hardiness of the tree, winter watering is necessary: 90-100 liters per 1 m² of tree trunk circle.
Pruning: The columnar Jubilee peach has a compact crown with vertical branches, so the tree requires little to no pruning. Broken and damaged side branches should be removed. As for the central conductor, it is cut only in case of poor growth, by 2-3 buds.
Diseases and pests : untreated peach trees can be affected by diseases such as moniliosis, leaf curl, coccomycosis, scab, fruit rot, fungal blight, cytosporosis, and powdery mildew. The most common tree pests are: flower beetle weevil, spider mite, scale insect, aphid, oriental and plum moth, fruit moth and leafminer.
Fertilizer/protection: planted trees need mineral fertilizers. Initially, nitrogen is applied in the first year in mid-May, and the second time in mid-June. This has a beneficial effect on the formation of the crown due to strong autumn growth. If a young tree grows too quickly in the first year, then next year we use nitrogen fertilizer only in early May. For the next two years, in order not to harm the formation of fruits, we minimize nitrogen fertilization. Mulching with humus or compost has a positive effect on the development of trees.
To protect a tree from various diseases and pests, it is important to use chemicals correctly depending on the stage of development. During bud break, tank mixtures of fungicides + insecticides should be used: Aktara, Enzhio + Horus. In the bud opening phase – Horus + Enzhio. During leaf fall, use Enzhio or Actellik + Horus. During the period of fetal growth – Actellik + Chorus. Processing is carried out 10-12 days after the previous one. After harvesting, Horus is used. In October-November, tree trunk circles are dug, fallen leaves are buried or burned, and fertilizers are applied. All of the above-mentioned drugs can be combined without restrictions and without the risk of decreased effectiveness. The required amount of working solution for a young tree is 1 liter, a middle-aged tree is 2-3 liters, a tree with a large crown is more than 3 liters.
In our online store, all peach varieties presented are grown in Ukraine, so they are frost-resistant and do not need shelter for the winter. But the tree bark should be protected from hares to a height of 120cm.
Rules of care
In order for the plant to develop normally, it should be provided with high-quality and complete care.
Trimming
In the first years of life, peach requires mandatory formative pruning. Then only a sanitary or rejuvenating procedure is performed.
Sanitary
This manipulation is aimed at removing broken and diseased shoots. Also be sure to remove branches that interfere with each other. The cutting areas should be treated with garden varnish.
Rejuvenating
The procedure is carried out to rejuvenate the tree. It helps to increase its lifespan and abundant fruiting.
Fruit rationing
This procedure is performed after the end of flowering, at the stage of formation of fruit ovaries. First of all, you should get rid of weak branches.
Formation
The shaping procedure should be performed during the first 4 years of the tree’s life. The rules for its implementation depend on the desired shape of the crown.
Watering mode
The soil should be moderately moistened. The irrigation regime is selected taking into account the weather, soil type, and age of the crop. On average, 40-50 liters per week are poured under a tree. The soil should dry out between waterings.
Weeding and loosening
After moistening the soil, it should be loosened immediately. This will improve the flow of oxygen to the root system. It is also worth getting rid of weeds.
Top dressing
The first time to fertilize a peach is 3 years after planting. For this purpose, organic and mineral fertilizers are used. To increase the frost resistance of the tree, products containing potassium and phosphorus are applied in the fall.
Preparing for winter
To protect the plant from frost, it is recommended to cover it with special materials. It is important that they allow moisture and air to pass through. With the arrival of spring there is a risk of roots freezing. Mulch will help protect them from return frosts.
Mulching and tree trunk care
Mulching helps retain moisture in the soil and prevents the growth of weeds. Sawdust, peat, and humus can play the role of mulch.
Description of the plant variety
Golden Jubilee peach trees are medium-sized with a wide-spreading crown. Fruiting occurs in the third year after planting in a permanent place. Flowering is observed in medium terms, flower buds are formed moderately. The flowers themselves are bell-shaped, very beautiful dark pink in color.
The fruits are large, weighing 135-145 g, broadly oval in shape with a rounded top. Covered with golden-yellow skin of medium density, with slightly pronounced pubescence and a pronounced dark carmine blush. The pulp is bright orange in color, with a pink tint around the seed, fibrous, sweet, with slight sourness. The stone is medium sized and comes off easily. Fruits for dessert use.
Peaches are harvested in the first ten days of August. The harvested crop is well transported and can be stored for a week. Productivity is high, averaging 195-205 c/ha. The variety is characterized by sufficient resistance to fungal infections.
Description and characteristics of the variety
Selection work to create an elite Golden Jubilee peach, characterized by endurance to different climate conditions and large fruits of good taste, was carried out by American scientists by crossing the Elberta and Greensboro varieties in 1921.
The tree forms a spreading oval-shaped crown and is characterized by intensive growth, with its height reaching 4-5 meters. The plant is decorated with green, wide, lanceolate leaves with a slight yellowish tint. The bell-shaped flowers of a rich pink color, medium in size, attract attention.
The fruits are broadly oval in shape and large in size. The weight of one ripe peach ranges from 120-140 grams. The skin is of medium density, golden in color, with a characteristic pink or red blush, slightly pubescent. A small red-brown pit, with a pointed tip and a wrinkled-furrowed surface, is easily separated from a ripe peach.
The fibrous pulp has a bright orange hue, delicate texture, sweet and sour exquisite taste and unique aroma.
The Golden Jubilee peach variety begins to bear fruit in the third year after planting. Flowering occurs in April and lasts 10-12 days. The fragrant fruits are harvested in the first days of August. The culture bears fruit for 10-15 years.
Protection of fruit plants from pests
Peach of the “Golden Jubilee” variety is quite often affected by various plant parasites in home gardening conditions, so there is a need to carry out therapeutic treatment of trees:
- at the stage of swelling of fruit buds, plants are often subject to attacks by bud weevils and aphids, which should be combated with Aktara or in combination with Enzhio and Chorus at the rate of 3 g per 10 liters of water;
- after flowering, plants may be damaged by the oriental codling moth, aphids and fruit moths, against which it is necessary to use a tank mixture based on Actellik, Horus and Skor;
- In the autumn-winter period, it is very important to combat overwintering pests by pruning and removing shoots affected by plant parasites, with the obligatory treatment of the cuts with garden varnish, as well as cleaning the bark.
To prevent damage to peach trees by diseases and pests, it is recommended to promptly use modern insecticides and effective fungicidal plant protection products:
- in early spring, it is advisable to spray garden plantings with a 1% solution of copper sulfate;
- in May, the following treatment of peach trees is carried out with a solution of the well-proven drug “Topsin M”;
- At the stage of active formation of ovaries, such highly effective means of protecting fruit plants as “Abiga Pik”, “Delan” or “Skor” are used.
A very important condition for the high effectiveness of preventive treatments and other protective measures is the timely removal of carrion and leaves from plants and around the trunk circles in the autumn, followed by loosening the soil. Compliance with the technology of growing fruit crops helps to increase the immunity of plants and allows them to resist damage from major diseases and pests.
Growing peach in the Moscow region
Growing a peach on a plot is more difficult than cucumbers or tomatoes, traditional for the Russian climate . However, if you follow the basic rules of agricultural technology, every gardener can get appetizing and juicy fruits.
Planting a seedling
Peaches are planted in spring or autumn . For the Moscow region, the second option is suitable, since winter begins in accordance with the calendar, and not in October (which is typical for the northern regions of the country). In the autumn-winter period, the peach tree sleeps and is not disturbed by insects and rodents. The roots develop under dense soil, and the plant’s immunity is strengthened.
For planting, it is recommended to choose two-year-old seedlings . They should look strong and healthy, without wrinkled bark or wilted leaves. Particular attention is paid to the root system - it should be fibrous. A few days before planting, the seedling is placed in a bucket of warm water, a growth stimulator is added, for example, “Zircon”, “Epin-Extra”.
Peach is a sun-loving plant, so a warm and spacious place on the site is reserved for it . The planting site should not be shaded by other trees or garden buildings. An excellent option is a hilly area next to a hedge.
Attention! A place where nightshade crops such as potatoes, eggplant, and peppers previously grew is not suitable for planting peach. It is not recommended to plant it next to other fruit trees - apples, pears, plums.
Care after landing
They begin to care for the peach tree in April - gardeners carry out the first treatment with Bordeaux mixture against aphids and other insects. After a month, excess ovaries are removed, leaving 8-10 cm between future fruits. The soil near the tree trunk is loosened and cleared of weeds. It is necessary to regularly maintain cleanliness between trees and beds - otherwise there is a high risk of developing diseases.
Gardeners recommend 2-3 root feedings before harvesting . Potassium mixture, Zdravy or Magic Watering Can plant complex are used as fertilizers. Apply fertilizers after watering - this way more nutrients will reach the roots. In the spring, peach trees are sprayed with a urea solution (0.5 kg per 10 liters of water) at the rate of 2-2.5 liters of solution per 10 square meters. m.
Late-ripening varieties are watered six times per season, early-ripening varieties - three times . One tree requires about 10-15 liters of water. The first watering occurs at the beginning of summer, the last - about 20 days before harvest. Water in the morning or evening to protect plants from sunburn.
Attention! An important stage in growing peaches is protection from diseases and insects. Common and effective preventive measures are spraying with a solution of Bordeaux mixture, potassium permanganate or copper sulfate. They provide protection against powdery mildew, aphids, and slugs.
How to grow from seed
Planting and caring for peach pits is similar to traditional growing methods . First, prepare the pit - remove it from a peach variety suitable for the Moscow region. Dry it and put it in a dry and dark place until autumn. Two days before planting, it is soaked in water and broken along the seam, after which the seed is removed from the inside.
In the garden, prepare the planting site and dig a hole 10 cm deep . Place a seed inside, sprinkle with soil, water and mulch. After winter, they begin standard care - water and fertilize. The plant should grow to form a trunk as thick as a pencil.
In the second year, a tree is formed and the crown is cleared of dense branches. The peach tree bears fruit in the third or fourth year.

Reviews and recommendations
When cultivating in central Russia, one should remember about the insufficient frost resistance of the variety. At the stage of full consumer ripeness, fruits may fall off the trees. The harvested crop does not have high transportability rates. (previously it was said that transportability is good) With insufficiently high agricultural technology, a sharp decrease in yield is observed, and the quality of the fruit also suffers greatly. It is for this reason that the variety is not recommended for cultivation by beginners and inexperienced gardeners.
Harvest and storage
In the south, the fruits are harvested in the first half of August. In the middle zone everything depends on the weather. In cool summers, peaches will ripen in late summer.
It is not recommended to keep the fruits on the tree for a long time, as they may fall off. The harvest can be stored for 8 days. If you pick the fruits a week earlier, this period increases to 20 days.
