- Highlights
- Variety Specifications
- Planting & Care
- An heirloom variety, also known as the Blood Peach, not typically found in stores.
- Slice open to reveal stunning, vibrant red flesh with a sweet, aromatic taste and a hint of berry.
- Harvest your own delicious peaches from mid-August.
- Thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideal against a south or west-facing wall.
- A self-fertile variety, so you only need one tree for a bountiful crop.
- Species: Peach
- Flavour: Sweet peach with a hint of berries
- Flowers: Pink blossom in spring (March)
- Harvest Period: August
- Position: Full sun
- Soil: Any well-drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well-drained, loamy soils.
- Hardiness: Hardy (H4). May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers and reduce the fruit yield for that year.
- Habit: An upright tree with a bushy habit
- Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2.5-4m unless pruned
- Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, preserves
- Planting Time: November, December, January, February, March
- Spacing: Plant 1m apart to allow for spreading.
- Soil Preparation: If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage. Peach trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil, but if yours is poor quality, mix in some compost when planting.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For a container-grown tree, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should have an established root system and only require watering in dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
- Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your peach tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
- Pest & Disease: Shows good resistance to the main pests and diseases for peaches, including peach leaf curl. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow. Aphids and caterpillars can be washed away with soapy water.
Product Specifications
- Supplied as: 120-150cm Tree in a 9L Pot
