'Taoflora Red' Peach Tree
- Taoflora's the name, blossom's the game... This stunning peach cultivar dazzles with its vivid red spring blossoms, and does so in double quick time thanks to a fast growth rate.
- The tree's lush green summer foliage is bookended at the far side by a canvas of blazing red autumn colour, ensuring great visual interest is provided throughout the year, rather than just one or two seasons.
- Growing to just a few metres tall and responding well to being shaped, this variety is perfect to star as the feature tree in small gardens, and you can even grow it on a patio. If possible, plant somewhere sheltered.
- Boasting better disease resistance and cold hardiness than many other peach varieties, this tree is undoubtedly an excellent choice for UK gardens.
- While predominantly grown as an ornamental tree, 'Taoflora Red' does produce a crop of downy peaches from the end of summer into early autumn which, though small, are perfectly edible!
