Peach "Van Riebeeck" 10L

The Van Riebeeck peach is a freestone peach that is medium in size with a round shape.

The skin is heavily blushed with red as it is very similar to the Culemborg variety. The flesh is creamy white and red around the pip. It is juicy and very sweet with a fine melting texture.

Fruit ripens from mid December.

Position – Full sun, although they can tolerate some shade they will yield more fruit the more sun they receive and grow more vigorously. They are really easy to grow.

Size – Peach trees can grow to about 8-10 metres tall. Plan the site before planting keeping the tree away from external walls, electrical lines and other trees. Plant in a protected area if possible as strong winds can damage branches and leaves.

Soil Type – Peach trees are not fussy about soil type although they prefer slightly acidic soil. Loosen the soil in the area before planting about 1.5mts depth in your normal garden soil and good drainage is important.
