Peach is a deciduous tree reaching up to 5m in optimum conditions. Fruiting throughout the summer months and into early autumn for later varieties. They prefer a well-drained, slightly limey, loamy garden soil with excellent drainage. A high nitrogen (NPK) fertiliser in spring will also benefit. It is imperative that these trees have full light conditions, to reduce wood dying from excess shade. It is said that it is best to prune in the mid summer period. Since peaches grow on the lateral growth made in the previous season, prune to remove the previously fruited older wood and carefully thin and space out the new seasons fruiting wood.

'Snowbrite' is an early-season (Dec-Jan) variety. It produces a medium-sized dark red peach with white flesh. Super sweet and very juicy, it is best eaten fresh.

A tip: I am told that a suitable organic alternative to copper spray is seaweed. Seaweed contains natural copper, so applying it to the tree, both at the base and through the branches can help the prevention of leaf curl.
