EVALUATION OF NINE YEARS EXPERIMENTING ON HIGH-DENSITY PEACH ORCHARD IN SOUTH EAST OF FRANCE

After nine years of experimenting, the high-density peach orchard, has responded positively to the original aim : a fast beginning of production and the forming of a fruit wall.

However, several problems have been set as to the behaviour of the trees (central leader height, loss of production at the lower part, irregular production) due to a bad adaptation of some varieties and especially to the strength usually obtained for the peach in this region.
