Description

These specially grafted 'Duo' fruit trees let you grow two different varieties of fruit on just one tree!

They are ideal if you love the thought of picking your own home-grown, tree-fresh fruit but do not have lots of space, because each tree carries two different fruit varieties.

Every tree is carefully 'double-grafted' onto a dwarfing rootstock by skilled nurserymen, helping it remain compact and manageable in the garden. They are also well suited to growing in a large patio pot.

Each tree is already trained into an attractive V-shape, making it a great choice for growing against a sunny wall too. Supplied as a bare root, grower quality tree on a small to medium size rootstock. Expect crops 3-4 years after planting.

Peach 'Redhaven' - Perfectly suited to UK growing as it fruits early in the season ripening in August and also has some resistance to peach leaf curl. This is a sweet juicy yellow fleshed variety that loves a sunny spot. It has a great taste and is easy to enjoy as the flesh comes away from the stone easily.

Apricot 'Early Orange' - Fully winter hardy and a really popular variety, as it guarantees a healthy crop of apricots, ready to pick in August. Fruits are deliciously flavoured, aromatic, and in an orange shade with a red fuzzy blush.

Top Tips

Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to give this tree a head start and establish faster.

Care Information

Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as Blood Fish and Bone in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
Stone fruit should not be pruned during winter to minimise any risk of infection - early summer is the ideal time. Established trees don't require radical pruning, just take off any diseased, dying and damaged branches. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches and remove any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or over-ripe fruit on the ground.
Don't forget the tree guards as rabbits can strip the bark overnight.
