Product Description
A simply stunning Patio Peach tree, 'Crimson (R) Bonfire' has been selected for its unique and delightful burgundy purple foliage and red coloured peach fruits, all on a genetically dwarf tree too.
Imagine relaxing on your patio in early Summer - the last of the heavenly sweet scent of Mediterranean peach blossom filling the air. Then in late August, reaching out and plucking one of your very own delicious, juicy ripe peaches! This stunning compact peach tree is so easy to grow, perfect in a pot and because it flowers later than many varieties it fruits much more successfully too. A beautifully symmetrical shaped tree, its foliage has a delightfully rich burgundy colouration.
Combined with the crimson peaches it makes a particularly exotic and decorative addition to any patio. Completely winter hardy no matter how cold it gets, you can look forward to your very own harvest of home-grown peaches for years to come.
TOP TIP: Peach fruit yield will be increased by keeping the fruit tree canopy dry in blossom and pollination time, such as in a greenhouse, conservatory or lean-to. Although self-fertile, using a dry small artist's paintbrush to brush pollen from flower to flower will hugely increase fruit set too. This will massively reduce the curse of Peach Leaf Curl too.
Patio Peach 'Crimson (R) Bonfire' really is a delightful little tree, for years and years of enjoyment.
What Is Supplied
Item 300012 supplied as:
Supplied as a 50-60cm tall, grower quality, twin grafted 'bare root' tree. Grown on dwarfing 'Montclair' root stock
TOP TIP: Peach yield will be increased by keeping the fruit tree canopy dry in blossom and pollination time, such as in a greenhouse, conservatory or lean-to. Although self-fertile, using a dry small artists paintbrush to brush pollen from flower to flower will hugely increase fruit set too!
Plant Information
Top Tips
- For bigger crops, use an artist's soft paintbrush moving from flower to flower to increase pollination
- Try and keep the canopy dry each spring as the leaves emerge, to avoid Leaf Curl
Care Guide
- Patio peaches can be grown in at least 45cm (18in) containers filled with soil-based John Innes No 3 compost. In February each year, feed with a balanced fertiliser, and repot every couple of years.
- Naturally dwarf, these patio peaches need little or no pruning to keep their compact shape.
- Protect the blossom from frost and, although self-fertile, using a dry small artists paintbrush to brush pollen from flower to flower will increase fruit set.
- When fruit appears, it will need thinning. Remove poorly placed, small or misshapen fruits when they are about the width of your little finger nail. 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.

Hi I was a bit disappointed as when I ordered my miniature peach tree it said there was an offer of 2 for 24 well when I received the package there was only one in it. Well I did phone up and was told it wasn?t 2 trees. Well I would not of ordered it if it was only one especially with the p@p. So I will not order again. Disappointed

Poor quality. Stupidly brought two. Both have been potted for 2 weeks and still look as though I will be lucky if either survive. Had brought other bare root trees from elsewhere that arrived plumper and have started to break. The writing was on the wall when the Garden Bargins box was opened and over half of the grafted stems were broken. I should have returned them at this point but as the window for bare root is pretty well over thought no point in getting yet more poor quality delivered. GB needs to up their quality control prior to despatch. There are others out in the market place supply better quality.
Product:
Very poor quality. Unlikely to survive. Arrived dried out with severe breakage to what small amount of branches each tree had.

Tho was a replacement delivery as the first delivery wasn't very good. The bare root peach on the first delivery was broken (the box was smaller than the tree) and the bare root roses were broken. Second delivery better. Roses just showing a couple of leaves so in growth and the bare root peach was replaced with a potted one so very happy with replacements
Product:
Bare root on my first delivery was broken so they sent me a potted replacement. Very happy with the replacements

Not entirely convinced by yodel as couriers. This delivery was excellent. Box was in good condition and plants were fine inside. Have had previous experience where boxes were bashed, falling apart and delivered to a neighbour despite the fact I was in all day. Thankfully the plants inside on that occasion were packaged well by Garden Bargains and still intact despite the trauma.
Product:
Very good specimen. Good sturdy trunk even had flowers on branches.
