The peach ‘Peregrine’, with white flesh, has a lush, delicious flavour and has been awarded an RHS AGM. Pink blossoms make a striking display in March, and red-flushed, white-skinned fruits start to appear in early August. This succulent peach is a preferred tree for wall training in a protected, sunny location where it would provide high yields.

Growing Information
Plant peach trees in rich fertile, well drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position. A south facing position is preferable to provide protection from damaging frosts. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. If the tree is to be bush trained then drive a stake into the ground prior to planting. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. For wall trained peaches attach support wires to the wall prior to planting. Plant fruit trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake or support wires, and water well.
