Pflanzte vor 3 Jahren einen Zwergpfirsichbaum in unserem neuen Garten. Es war winzig, als es zum ersten Mal gepflanzt wurde. Das erste Jahr, nichts als Blattlocke. Das 2. Jahr … zwei Pfirsiche und viele Blattläder … dieses Jahr .. Wow! Immer noch viele Blattläder, hat aber den Pfirsichern keinen Schaden zugefügt. Ich scherze nicht einmal, es muss gute 120 am Baum geben, und wir haben es sogar ein bisschen verdünnt! Sie schmecken soooo gut!

You’re lucky to have got to them before the wasps. I get around 20-30 on my small tree each year but I’m lucky if I get 3 before the wasps tuck in.
Well, now I want a peach tree… well done to you, i guess.. but woe to my garden budget.
We had a peach tree at work that grew from a seed. It produced so many juicy peaches . Unfortunately the guy on the other side of the fence didn’t like the falling fruit and that tree suddenly died the next year. I now have a dwarf one, it’s probably under 3ft tall with a tiny clump of leaves. It produced 9 peaches this year ! They won’t ripen as I don’t think the tree is strong enough. It’s in a pot and I haven’t fed and watered enough to sustain the fruit but I’m really hopeful for next year 😃
They look amazing. We had a peach tree in the garden of a flat I bought which had amazing juicy peaches the year I moved in and then only one or two after that. I looked into how to care for and improve the yields on the tree and realised that it had been left to grow too big and straggly. There was really nothing I could do to bring it back, which was a shame. So, make sure you prune appropriately to keep it bountiful and healthy.
Damn fat squirrels stole all of mine 🙁
They look so tasty! Where in the UK are you? I’ve really wanted to try and grow peaches but read they need to be in a greenhouse.
We’ve just had 17kg of peaches! And that’s with leaf curl.
I knew you could but I always figured it was one of those things that you could only do outside in the far south – then I had a surprise when a friend in Cardiff told me they had a good crop of peaches this year.
I think I’m far too far north, but maybe give it another decade…
Wow I love peaches. Now I am inspired to get a peach tree
Wow nice… Last time I saw this many peaches on a tree was 20+ yr ago.
Everyone knows peaches come from a can they were put there by a man
You’ve inspired me. I think I’ll be hinging to buy a peach tree. I’m not a fan but kids will love it.
Might get apple and pear aswell 😁👍

So allergic to peaches, but I want them so much
Could you please share where you purchased this tree from, or the exact vartiety?
I’m moving to the Black Country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
Wow! We picked up a little peach tree in a pot at our allotment plant sale just over a year ago. It was probably no taller than half way up my shin. We planted it on our plot not expecting much to happen. It’s now taller than me! Never thought it would produce fruit, I just like the tree, but this post gives me a little hope.
Where did you buy it? I’m now seriously considering a new purchase!
I’ve got one on my balcony, in year 1 and still just leaves. Looking forward to year 3, congrats!
Beautiful. Enjoy them!
Thanks to you, I’m now adding peaches to the fantasy orchard in my head…
This is super encouraging being a new peach tree parent!
I thought peaches came from a can?
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
That’s impressive. I can’t seem to get my peaches to grow any larger than a walnut 😅
They used to be grown against a south-facing wall ( absorbs heat during the day and emits it at night), tended by gardeners employed by the gentry.
A visitor to the Rothschild’ s estate was asked by the butler:
‘Tea, coffee or a peach off the wall, Sir?’
‘Tea, please.’
‘China tea, Indian tea, or Ceylon tea, Sir?’
‘China, if you please.’
‘Lemon, milk or cream, Sir?’
‘Milk, please.’
‘Jersey, Hereford or Shorthorn, Sir?’
Google ‘fruit wall’.
Wow, where are you that these are growing so well? What variety is the tree?
Argh sorry I didn’t see all the comments, I see you answered this already!
Very nice!! I got a few apricots on a young tree at a house I used to live at, reckon if it’s still alive it’ll be making a good few now
well, how peachy for you. I’m still at the potato growing stage of gardening.
They look great!!

My dad has two peach trees in a polytunnel, it produces too many peaches, they begin to rot before we can get to them all. I love how they look when they bloom though!
Well done, mine died this year.
wow that’s impressive 👏🏻
But what to do with them all?! Peach wine? Peach crisps? Peach Jam, Peach Leather, Peach Candy, Peach Ice Cream?
Shut the front door! This is wonderful. Well done you. I’m jealous
How do they taste? And what’s the consistency of the flesh? Is it soft and easily nibbled or a bit rougher?
I want to plant my peach tree but I’m scared of frosts. Do you have a plan for that if it happens?
Yeah good 150 years or so. Brick walls help.
Be my dad and have a full size peach tree in the middle of our garden whilst I was growing up. Branches needed propping up some years.
Be me and have to cut the grass for pocket money, fighting off the wasps 😕
That’s impressive!!!!
That’s awesome! Dwarf fruit trees can definitely take a while to get going, but once they settle in, it’s like they explode with fruit. Mine was basically a stick for the first couple years too and all I got was leaf curl, but now I’m pulling off a ridiculous amount of peaches every summer. Glad to hear yours is thriving!
They look fantastic aswell
Very possible to grow, it’s just bugs or birds getting to them 1st. My family grew some once & of course the damn grubs got in there before we even noticed.
First year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap! 🙂
Sheesh goodness gracious
Fantastic. Guess the warm summer has helped.
I’m guessing that the weather conditions this year have been much more favourable (warmer earlier, and for longer than usual).
It is now.
What part of the UK do you live in OP (if you don’t mind answering) – and is the tree in a south-facing position and relatively sheltered?
I’m tempted to try this now …
Thanks for drawing my attention to this OP.
I’m always after new fruit trees, and some kinda of silver lining to climate change is always nice.
Any reccomendation of varieties?
I had two punnets of delicious plums this year from my tree for the first time, and I’m keen for more juicy fruit next year.
