In addition, a so-called fruiting wood pruning is necessary in the spring directly before or after flowering, as soon as the small fruits become visible. Peaches have the peculiarity of forming three different types of shoots: true fruit shoots, false fruit shoots and woody shoots. True fruit shoots have one or two rounded flower buds on each eye, accompanied by a pointed leaf bud. False fruit shoots, on the other hand, have only single, barren flower buds, and woody shoots have only pointed leaf buds. The aim of fruit wood pruning is to ensure good nutrition of the fruit and at the same time to thin out the fruit clusters, otherwise the peaches will remain very small. To do this, cut off the true fruit shoots behind the sixth fruit. False fruit shoots should be removed completely or cut off behind the leaf buds at the base. The wood shoots are shortened by no more than half their length.

For a rich harvest is necessary annual pruning of the peach tree: peaches fruit on one-year-old wood and very quickly wither. Therefore, immediately after harvesting, vigorously cut back the harvested shoots to stimulate the formation of new fruit shoots.
