A guide to choosing the right size
Best grown against a south-facing wall or against a greenhouse.
Control of peach leaf curl is essential. Peach leaf curl is a fungal disease, which, if left untreated, puts trees under severe stress due to the excessive leaf loss. The white bloom consists of large numbers of fungal spores, but these do not infect the new leaves produced later in the year. Instead, they overwinter on the tree to infect the following year’s leaves.
Applications of fungicide must be timed carefully. A copper fungicide (Vitax Bordeaux Mixture should be applied as the buds begin to swell and then repeated 14 days later. Bud swelling normally occurs in late January or early February but may be delayed in colder districts. Spraying must be completed before flower buds open. Another application at leaf fall may also be beneficial.
Bare Root = Field grown trees that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
Coir Pot = Grown in a coir fibre pot that can be planted directly in the soil causing no root disturbance.
10 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
1 Year Maiden = A one year old tree and the size depends on the variety but in general they will be 125cm in height and will have some side branches.
2 Year Bush = A two year old tree that has been pruned back in the first winter to form a bush shape. Generally trees will be 150-175cm in height with multiple side branches.

The long leaves which can reach almost 15cms in length hang down in great numbers giving an almost “mop head” appearance.

Just a quick note to let you know my plants arrived safely the day after dispatch, and I am very pleased with them. Much larger than I expected, they now look like they have been growing in their spots for years. I was particularly impressed with the Patio peaches, beautiful little trees with instant impact! Many thanks for your excellent service, I shall definitely recommend your nursery to others. Best wishes
