Description

Prunus persica

Please note: 2 x Peach trees will fit in our tall box. Prices as per the small box. To get better value out of this box you can also fit in 2 of our smaller grades (9 cm, 1 liter, or PB2).

All our peaches are grown from seed. Seed is selected from healthy trees that grow well and produce tasty fruit. In our experience peach trees grown on their own roots do very well as long as they have good drainage and good airflow. The seed from these trees grow true to the parent plant with some slight variations in colour and ripening times. This is an advantage in the home garden and spreads out our harvests.

An unnamed variety from an old tree on our property. The seedlings from this variety have produced the most variation in both ripening times and colour, though still all with lovely juicy sweet flavour. Skin varies from white with a pink blush to creamy yellow with a pink blush. Flesh is generally creamy white. Fruit ripens from early February through to late March. This is a clingstone variety. Plants usually start producing at 4 years old.
