Care Guide

• Patio peaches can be grown in at least 45cm containers filled with soil-based John Innes No 3 compost. In February each year, feed with a balanced fertiliser, and repot every couple of years.
• Naturally dwarf, these patio peaches need little or no pruning to keep their compact shape.
• Protect the blossom from frost and, although self-fertile, using a dry small artists paintbrush to brush pollen from flower to flower will increase fruit set.
• When fruit appears, it will need thinning. Remove poorly placed, small or misshapen fruits when they are about the width of your little finger nail. With peaches aim to have a fruit every 15cm.
• Water container-grown trees almost every day during the growing season and give them a high potash liquid feed every couple of weeks. Avoid excessive or irregular watering when fruit is ripening to prevent the skin splitting.
• As the fruit develops it may need protection from birds and squirrels.
