Prunus persica 'Honey Gold'
NEW! This compact tree will reach a maximum height of just 1.2m (4ft) after 10 years. It is ideal for a container and will make an attractive feature on the patio. Hardy and reliable, a show of beautiful pink flowers in the spring is followed by heavy crops of fruit in the late summer. The medium-large peaches have a golden-yellow skin and red blush. The flesh is yellow and has a delicious, sweet, honey-like flavour.

Season: mid Aug.
As garden fruits, peaches and nectarines have plenty going for them. The spring blossom is beautiful and the fruits picked straight from the tree are deliciously sweet and ‘run down your chin’ juicy. They are best grown as a fan on a sunny south or south-west facing wall, although peaches can also be grown as free standing bushes in favourable areas. When mature, you can expect to harvest 15-30lbs (7-14kg) of fruit from a fan trained tree and twice that amount from a bush tree.
Our peaches and nectarines are grown on the new Montclair semi-dwarfing rootstock which will restrict the size of the tree whilst improving yield and fruit size.
- A bush tree will typically grow to 3.6m (12ft) in height and spread.
- A fan trained tree will grow to the height of a 1.9m (6ft) fence panel and 3.6m (12ft) wide. If you wish to grow your peach or nectarine tree as a fan, you will need to start off with a one year old tree.
Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order. All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
