'Avalon Pride' Patio Peach Tree
- 'Avalon Pride' is one of our very favourite peach varieties, and by growing it on a dwarf rootstock, you can have it as a tree that's small enough to keep on your patio!
- Typically growing to just 1.5m tall, this tree will do brilliantly on a sunny balcony or in a south-facing courtyard garden
- This tree's plump peaches have wonderful flavour and are just asking to be eaten fresh straight from the tree. If you can resist that, though, then why not make an American-style cobbler or dry them for a tasty snack?
- Recognised by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, this tree is a great choice to get more bees coming to your garden
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth

Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Yes, the 'Avalon Pride' peach tree is an excellent choice for a patio pot, provided it is grown in a container of at least 40 to 50 litres with good drainage.
How big does it get?
The 'Avalon Pride' peach tree typically reaches a mature height and spread of 1.5 to 2 metres when grown in a pot.
How much sunlight does this need?
The 'Avalon Pride' peach tree thrives best in a position that receives full sunlight for at least 6 to 8 hours a day, which helps the fruit to ripen and the soil to stay warm above 10°C.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
The 'Avalon Pride' peach tree prefers a well-drained, fertile soil that is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0 to 7.0), and benefits from a warm position where the soil heats up to above 10°C quickly in spring.
How much watering does this plant need?
The 'Avalon Pride' peach tree requires regular watering, especially during dry spells; aim to provide around 10 to 15 litres of water per week, increasing this during hot summer days when temperatures exceed 25°C.
Will this plant need pruning?
Yes, the avalon pride' patio peach tree requires pruning in mid-summer to minimise the risk of silver leaf disease. Light pruning is usually sufficient to maintain a compact size suitable for a pot.
How hardy is this plant?
The 'Avalon Pride' peach is hardy to H4, meaning it can withstand winter temperatures down to -10°C across most of the UK, but its early spring blossoms are vulnerable to late frosts and may require protection with horticultural fleece.
