A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Peach trees are a lovely garden fruit which offer both fruiting and ornamental qualities. The sweet and juicy fruits crop from June and are delicious eaten from the tree. Make sure the fruit is still firm! Beautiful display of pink blossoms in spring.
Picking times relate to growing under glass, therefore if planting outside at least two weeks need to be added. All varieties are self fertile. Early flowering outside make these trees prone to frost damage, so undercover growing is recommended. We supply peach trees in both white and yellow fleshed varieties. Fan training on a sheltered wall is an option.
