Chuffed to bits..........

I have PEACHES.............loads of em!

After a failure growing apricots last year (tree died) this year I have loads of peaches on my pot grown red summat or other peach tree in the greenhouse.
They are growing really fast, yesterday the size of a pea, today the size of a cob nut!

Lickle miniature peaches covered in down!

Don't know whether they get the equivalent of June drop as in apples but I would imagine the tree would struggle to ripen so many?
Going round the peach blossom with a paintbrush at flowering time certainly seems to have paid off!

Congrats Snadger

Beechgrove did a bit on peaches the other year and they recommended thinning the fruits can't remember what too though.

Congratulations. May i ask how large your peach tree is, is it dwarfing rootstock with being in your greenhouse, or do you have a large greenhouse that accomodates a larger tree with more vigorous growth?

Nice one Snadger, I bet those baby peaches look kind of cute!

[donnakebab]

Congratulations. You are the happy father of some lovely little peaches!

Once fruit forms i have never noticed a `june drop` of fruit on peach trees, i never thin the fruit at all , the peaches are usually a bit smaller than giant shop ones , but larger than `value` shop peaches

Nice one Snadge, I hope to get some next year off mine as all I have is leaf this year so far. I have also read to thin them out so you have less but bigger fruits.

would love to compare sizes Snadger!!
Just noticed mine today, have about ten pea sized white peaches growing on my 3 year old tree, and no leaf curl yet even after all that rain!

Brilliant Snadge, something for me to look forward to next year............fingers crossed.

..................... Is it a red haven ? ......

Think so Binners, red summat or other and I can't imagine there being that many peach varieties starting with red!

[binley100]

Same as mine then .......Aldi's finest and .......

I have leaves ........next year I may even have blossom ........

[Farmer_Gyles]

cool! my missus picked up a red haven peach a few weeks ago .... it's still in the pot on the patio .... leaves are just starting to come out .... not had a chance to plant it what with the rain and things .... we're due a couple of dry(ish)days over the weekend, so will be planting it outside .... no room in the greenhouse for it .... hoping i get *some* fruit off it!
