Just to let you know my order of 5 plants arrived safely. I am really pleased with them as I have always wanted the more unusual plants instead of trying to grow from seeds but unfortunately I have not been able to source them within my local area. The service you provided was excellent, the packaging was sturdy, the delivery charge was very fair and they were delivered very quickly. I also appreciated that the plants had been watered well in preparation for their journey. Thank-you so much. Kind regards

Peach Tree 'Darling'
Prunus persica 'Darling'
- Free stone variety with a rich flavoured white flesh.
- Peach Leaf Curl Resistant.
- Self Fertile.
- St Julien A rootstock.
Supplied as a bare root tree pruned to approximately 3-4 ft (90-120cm) tall including roots.
Available from APPROXIMATELY late November / early December 20201 or more £24.00GBP each. Group & quantity discounts
The white skin of this variety takes on a delicate red flush as it ripens.
Being a 'free stone' variety the white flesh comes away easily from the stone making it a useful variety for cooking - as 'peach halves' are easily achieved. The flesh has a pleasantly firm (but not hard) texture and a really rich flavour.
Heavy cropping, this variety has the added benefit of being extremely resistant to Peach Leaf Curl making it something you will rarely have a problem with.
- Season of use late August.
- Self Fertile.
- Grown on St Julien A rootstock for an ultimate height of 12 - 15 feet (3.65 - 4.6 metres) but can easily be kept at a height of 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres).
