Plant description

Also known as the 'peach of the grapevine' or the 'blood peach', this unusual peach is a revered late summer delicacy in France, showcasing a unique, dusky exterior that belies its vibrant, dazzling red flesh. This heirloom fruit, available during a brief window in August, offers a taste experience blending the juicy sweetness of a ripe white peach with the succulence of a raspberry. Best enjoyed peeled and savoured as they are, their pale pink juices burst with flavour. Ideal for planting in full sun against a south or west-facing wall, or as a standalone tree in warmer regions, this self-fertile marvel promises a bountiful crop from a single tree during a reliable summer.

How to care for peach Pêche de Vigne:

When planting your peach, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Peaches are best grown against or trained on a sheltered, sunny wall, traditionally under shelter from excessive rainfall, which reduces the chances of peach leaf curl. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting and provide regular watering during hot, dry spells. Protect blooms from late frost by covering the plant with a double layer of horticultural fleece, and prune in summer to reduce the risk of disease.

Please note:

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
