Prunus persica

We had a peach tree in our old chook pen which originally came from our lovely friends at Millstream Gardens in Pukehou. We have planted out many seedlings from it and they all produce similarly lovely fruit, with slight variations.  The fruit is whitish with red around the stone, with excellent flavour for eating fresh or bottling. They are ripe mid to late season in Hawke’s Bay – around mid to late February.  Clingstone. Ours grow well even on clay soil, and we find they fruit after about 3 years – relatively early for an ungrafted variety. We also much prefer the natural tree shapes of ungrafted varieties. Height 3-4m. Variations may occur as these are seed grown.

11cm pot One year old seedling approx height 30 cm with well developed root system.
