Planting & Care

An heirloom variety, the Peach of the Vine (or Blood Peach) reveals stunning, vibrant red flesh when cut.
Enjoy a sweet, aromatic flavour with a distinct hint of berries – a taste you won't find in shops.
Harvest your own delicious peaches from mid-August.
A self-pollinating tree, ensuring a generous crop from just one plant.
Thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot, perfect for training against a south or west-facing wall.

Species: Peach
Features: Easy to grow, Self fertile
Flowering Time: March
Harvest Time: August
Planting Time: January, February, March, November, December
Flower Colour: Pink blossom in spring
Position: Full sun
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2.5-4m unless pruned
Habit: An upright tree with a bushy habit
Hardiness: H4 - May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers. This won't cause lasting damage to the tree but will reduce the yield of fruit that year.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Shows good resistance to the main pest and diseases for peaches. Has a good resistance to peach leaf curl, although not full resistance so you should still keep an eye out for it and take the pruning steps below. You may see some damage from aphids and caterpillars, which can both be washed away with soapy water. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow and removed rotting organic matter nearby.
Soil Type: Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting, to improve drainage.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your peach tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
Tasting Notes: Sweet peach with a hint of berries
Fertility: Produces a crop without needing fertilisation from other trees
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, preserves

Plant your tree during its dormant season, from November through to March.
Choose a position in full sun. The ideal spot is a sheltered border against a south or west-facing wall, which provides extra warmth. In warmer parts of the UK, it can be grown as a standalone tree.
This peach tree prefers well-drained, fertile, loamy soil. If your soil is heavy clay or very sandy, improve its structure and drainage by mixing in horticultural grit or perlite when planting.
Prune in winter to maintain an open, productive shape. This improves airflow, which helps to prevent diseases like bacterial canker and can increase your fruit yield.
The tree is hardy, but late spring frosts can damage the pink blossoms, which will reduce the amount of fruit you get that year. If a hard frost is forecast once the tree is in flower, consider protecting it with horticultural fleece.
This variety has good disease resistance but keep an eye out for peach leaf curl. Aphids or caterpillars can be washed away with a simple solution of soapy water.
