This new garden peach tree really has it all - giving interest from early spring through to autumn and the promise of a crop of juicy peaches! In early spring, the blossom appears, and the bright-pink, saucer-shaped blooms are produced in abundance. Their display is every bit as good as the best ornamental cherries and are a magnet for bees and other friendly insects. Then, as the blossom fades, the foliage appears - each elongated, slender leaf taking on a bronzy hue as it unfolds, offering a lovely contrast to the more familiar greens in the garden. Over the summer, the fruits enlarge and ripen until they're ready to pick in late August. Peaches are deep red when ripe, with sweet yellow flesh. For best results grow in a large pot in a sunny spot in the garden - an ideal spot perhaps being against a south-facing wall. While 'Rubira' is fully hardy in the UK climate, it is best protected from rain during the winter months as this helps avoid leaf diseases. If possible, move under cover, such as to a porch or greenhouse. Alternatively, cover with a tent fashioned from garden polythene. This spectacular tree with delicious fruit is worth the effort!
Just imagine biting into your own juicy, homegrown peaches - perfect to enjoy picked straight from the tree! With gorgeous pink blossom in spring followed by sumptuous red-blushed fruits, Prunus persica 'Suncrest' is the ideal peach for your kitchen garden. Despite their reputation as being a bit of a specialist fruit, peaches are remarkably easy to grow, and 'Suncrest' is well suited to the UK climate, being self-fertile with blooms that are relatively frost tolerant. The large, firm fruits are called 'freestone', which means that the flesh separates easily from the stone, making 'Suncrest' great for eating and cooking, and it is definitely one of the best-tasting peaches, with an exceptional flavour. Supplied as an established plant, 90-110cm tall in a 5L pot, ready to plant out now.
One of the traditional English dessert pears, Williams (or Williams Bon Chretien, after the nurseryman who first propagated it) is a pear tree with a pedigree dating back to the late 18th century. Also known as the Bartlett Pear, Williams is a good early-season pear variety, producing a regular crop of large, yellow, aromatic fruits with an excellent sweet and juicy flavour. Williams pears have a typical and recognisable 'pear flavour', and this British bred pear is perfect for poaching and preserving, as well as eating fresh from the tree from mid to late September. Great for wildlife, 'Williams' is on the RHS perfect for pollinators list and is self-fertile, plus when it's in bloom in the middle of the blossom season it can be pollinated by most other pear trees meaning an even bigger crop. As this tree is on a dwarfing rootstock, it will not get to more than 1.5m in 5 years when in a pot. This will also make picking your fruits so much easier than those of a bigger tree. Supplied as an established plant in a 5L pot, approx. 90-110cm tall, ready to pot on or plant out.
'Doyenne du Comice' is perhaps the very best pear for eating raw! Its sumptuous flavour, fruity aroma and fine, fleshy texture makes this wonderful variety really stand out from other pears. Best eaten fresh from the tree, 'Comice' is also delicious cooked - imagine making your own pear tart with your very own freshly picked pears! This brilliant variety will give masses of fruit from September through to February each year. It will even fruit from next season! Supplied as an established tree, approx. 90-110cm tall in a 5L pot, ready to plant out.
