Product Description
You can now grow deliciously sweet peaches here in the UK! 'Redhaven' is an August fruiting variety with lusciously sweet yellow flesh that melts in your mouth when you bite into it. Its self-fertile, like the majority of our fruit varieties, so will crop reliably for you and needs no other tree in order for it to produce fruit.
The gorgeous, sweetly fragrant pink blossom looks a picture in springtime, but ideally needs a little protection from late frosts. Ideally, plant your tree against a south-facing wall and cover with fleece when in flower in the spring; this is not to protect the tree itself, which is totally winter hardy, but to give the blossom maximum protection so it has the best chance of full pollination.
The warmer the position of your tree when it's in blossom, the busier the bees and other pollinating insects will be, resulting in delicious peaches for you! 'Redhaven' also makes a lovely potted specimen for your patio, allowing you to position it favourably when necessary. You can then really make the most of the fragrant spring blossom and perfect summer fruits.
What Is Supplied
Plant Information
Top Tips
- For bigger crops, use an artist's soft paintbrush, moving from flower to flower to increase pollination.
- Try to keep the canopy dry each spring as the leaves emerge, to avoid leaf curl.
Care Guide
- Although frost-tolerant, it is still best practice to protect the blossom with fleece, and pollination should be helped by transferring pollen to other flowers with a soft artist's brush – mainly because there are very few insects around when 'Suncrest' flowers.
- When fruit appears, it will need thinning. Remove poorly placed, small or misshapen fruits when they are about the width of your little fingernail. With peaches, aim to have a fruit every 15cm (6in).
- Water container-grown trees almost every day during the growing season and give them a high potash liquid feed every couple of weeks.
- Avoid excessive or irregular watering when fruit is ripening to prevent the skin splitting.
- As the fruit develops it may need protection from birds and squirrels.

Quite a good delivery, hard to say whether they are good value, as they are bare root trees, until they grow in the spring it?s very hard to say

Overall very good however the lavender my partner jane Holley and I ordered through ideal world code 480366 was disappointing as it was not in particularly good condition on arrival and most of them have subsequently died
Product:
Not the best but hopefully will improve
