Peach Trees

Peaches and nectarines depend on a sheltered, south facing position free from frost pockets, otherwise, the early spring blossom might be damaged. A popular method is to train them against a south-facing wall which holds the day’s heat through the night, and if cold spring days appear a covering of horticultural fleece will protect the tender blossoms.

There's a guide to growing nectarines along with a 4 page article by Carol Klein on the site here: Grow Your Own Peaches and Nectarines

 

 

Peach Tree - Peche de Vigne

The blood peach. In our opinion this is the most delicious peach there is! Deep raspberry-rose skin and flesh stained a deep red all the way through. Deliciously sweet and intensely perfumed.

Fruit Me Tree - Peach Me Donut

Flat peaches are practical to eating, extremely sweet and aromatic, and this one is divine! Ripens in mid July. Peaches are self-pollinating so can be solitary plants. Flowers July-August. Height 1.5-2m depending on container size; spread 71-80cm. Supplied in a 2 litre pot, at a height of approximately 70cm.

Fruit me® FOR SMALL SPACES - A unique patio fruit tree concept! Unlike other patio fruit trees, where growing in a container has a negative effect on fruiting (especially as the tree gets older), these remain compact, manageable and continue to produce an abundance of good-sized fruit for years!

Peach Tree - Duke of York

Large mouth-watering fruit, full of juice, white flesh with a red-flushed skin. Hardy, reliable and prolific. Needs a sunny sheltered spot - a south or west-facing wall or a glasshouse or conservatory. Self-fertile. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.

Peach Tree - Avalon Pride

This recently introduced peach appears to be strongly resistant to leaf curl disease. From a chance seedling found by a Miss Pride in woods in Washington State, near Seattle. She noticed that it was peach leaf curl resistant and decided to propagate her own tree. When she moved she decided to take the tree with her but just before the move a large bear dug the tree up and totally wrecked it! Left with a pile of twigs she managed to revive and propagate a further tree and move it to a bear-free environment. Trees are self-fertile with pretty pink flowers and bear large, deliciously juicy fruits from early August. Pollination group 4.
Grown on Montclaire rootstock which is highly productive with medium vigour. It also makes trees less susceptible to frost damage.
