Enjoy a mid-season harvest of large, sweet, and juicy freestone peaches, bursting with flavour.
A robust and reliable variety, showing strong resistance to peach leaf curl.
Harvest your delicious peaches in mid-summer, typically late July.
Its Montclare rootstock keeps it compact, reaching a manageable 3m height and spread, perfect for any garden size.
Self-fertile, so you only need one tree to guarantee a generous crop.
Arrives in an innovative EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and promotes a healthier root system.
You'll receive a well-established tree, typically 18-36 months old, ready to thrive.
Expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy framework for maximum fruit production.

Latin Name: Prunus persica
Species: Peach
Features: Easy to grow
Tasting Notes: Sweet, juicy and aromatic
Uses: Eating, Making Jams
Flowering Time: March, April
Harvest Time: July
Planting Time: Can be planted year-round
Position: Full sun
Eventual Spread: 3m
Hardiness: Hardy, but protect flowers from very late frosts to ensure a good crop.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good resistance to common peach pests and diseases, including peach leaf curl.
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil but will tolerate less-than-perfect conditions.
Pruning: Requires some structural pruning each winter to maintain a productive shape and improve yields.
Pollination: Self-fertile. Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit.

Planting: Water in thoroughly when planting. Choose a spot in full sun with well-drained, loamy soil.
Watering: After planting, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In its second year, the tree will be more established and will only need watering during dry spells. Water deeply and less frequently to encourage strong root growth.
Feeding: This tree is not a heavy feeder and does not require regular feeding.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain an open, productive shape. This improves airflow, which helps prevent disease, and encourages better yields.
Pest & Disease Care: While resistant to peach leaf curl, it's wise to monitor for it. Aphids and caterpillars can be washed off with soapy water. Good pruning and clearing away rotting organic matter will reduce the risk of bacterial canker.
Frost Protection: The tree itself is hardy, but the delicate flowers are vulnerable to late frosts in spring. This can reduce the fruit yield for the year, so protecting the blossoms during cold snaps is recommended.
