Planting & Care

A large, golden peach with juicy yellow flesh, growing on a compact tree that boasts stunning spring blossoms.
Highly dependable for outdoor cultivation in the UK, its late blooming period reduces the risk of frost damage.
Harvest your delicious peaches from mid-August.
Self-fertile, so a single tree will produce a plentiful harvest.
Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', it's a great choice for bees and butterflies.
Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a well-shaped, robust, and bushy tree.

Species: Peach
Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper, Self fertile
Flowering Time: April
Harvest Time: August
Flower Colour: Clusters of pink blossom in spring
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well drained, loamy soils.
Hardiness: Hardy. May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers, which will reduce the fruit yield for that year.
Habit: An upright tree with a bushy habit
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 3.6m unless pruned
Pest & Disease Resistance: Shows good resistance to the main pest and diseases for peaches, including peach leaf curl.
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, preserving

Planting Time: November to March.
Planting Location: For optimal growth, plant in full sun, preferably in a border near a south or west-facing wall. It also thrives as a standalone tree in warmer regions. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage.
Spacing: Plant 3m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells when the leaves start to wilt and droop. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: Peach trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil. If yours is poor quality, mix in some compost when planting.
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.
Pest & Disease Care: Has good resistance to peach leaf curl, but you should still keep an eye out for it. 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 removing rotting organic matter nearby.
