Patio Peach Tree
Prunus persica 'Red Peachy'
- Fruit trees are brilliant in that not only do they produce delicious fruits, but they're incredibly impactful as ornamental trees in their own right!
- 'Red Peachy' is a perfect example of this, boasting sumptuously juicy peaches, as well as myriad reddish pink blossoms during the middle of spring.
- Growing to just over a metre in height, this clear-stemmed tree is ideal for patios, balconies and terraces. Just give it a spot in full sun and it'll happily flourish.
- A self-fertile variety, your peach tree doesn't need another plant in order to bear its fruit, which are lovely eaten fresh, or baked into a scrummy crumble.
