One of the best Peaches for small gardens, Peach Patio is a real winner for several seasons a year. Kicking off with a beautiful display of pink blossom in Spring, it is self-fertile so will produce crops of sumptuous juicy red peaches, with a deep yellow flesh. Sweet in taste, it really is Perfection in Peaches, and performs really well in the UK. As with all peaches in our wetter UK Spring, best results can be obtained by helping pollinate the tree by using a simple soft artist's paintbrush, and rubbing it from flower to flower when it in blossom. They blossom early, and there aren't always enough bees on the move at that time of year. Also, keep foliage dry in Spring to avoid Peach leaf Curl - under a canopy is fine. You will be rewarded with amazing crops of juicy, peaches - they just taste sublime picked warm from the sun on their backs, straight from the tree. Supplied as an established 100-125cm tall tree grown on a dwarfing rootstock in a 21cm pot, ready to plant, reaching a height and spread of 2m (6½ft).

Tree fern specialists HSK have developed this specific concentrated Tree Fern Feed to get the best results from their wonderful tree fern logs. In their native habitat, tree ferns grow in dense shady wooded areas, beneath the main tree canopy. Leaves falling off trees gather in the crown of the tree fern, and mix with rain, slowly feeding the top of the log, where the new fronds emerge. This is unlikely to happen here in UK gardens, even in shady areas, so this specialist tree fern feed mimics the nutrients provided in their habitat, with a balanced feed to encourage strong frond growth. Feed every week or so in growing season (May til September), this 500ml will last a least 2 years if used as per the label. It can also be used to feed any other garden ferns in shady locations.
