Prunus persica
Formerly known as Blackboy, now also known as Black, Blood and Sanguine Peach. Seedling grown of inland Hawke’s Bay provenance. Late season (March) variety with deep purple juicy flesh. Foodies wax lyrical about the deliciousness of these peaches. For example Helen Jackson has this to say: ‘Dense yet burstingly tender crimson flesh gives way to indelible juiciness, and a flavour combining the finer points of plum, peach and the richest red wine. The fragrance is heady, complex and intoxicating peachy.’ Well, if that won’t sell these trees, nothing will!
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. Freestone – easy to process for bottling. Please note that seedling trees show natural genetic variation from their parents, however blackboy peaches appear to come relatively true to type. Mature height 3-4m.
Deep 11cm pot. Seedling approx height 30 – 40cm with well developed root system ready for planting

We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
