Peach Peregrine

Possibly the No.1 choice by gardeners, and also the best choice according to some experts. The juicy, white fleshed peaches have a light green and crimson skin and an excellent flavour. To get good results growing peaches in Ireland, they really need to be fan-trained against a warm wall or grown under cover. Protect outdoor, wall-trained trees against silver-leaf disease with a waterproof canopy from autumn to spring; hand-pollination may therefore be needed. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. The roots of Peaches are often hard pruned.
