Red Leaf Patio Peach 'Crimson Bonfire' Bare Root

Red Leaf Patio Peach Crimson Bonfire Bare Root

Imagine relaxing on your patio in early summer – the last of the heavenly sweet scent of Mediterranean peach blossom filling the air, then in late August, reaching out and plucking one of your very own delicious, juicy ripe peaches!

This stunning compact peach tree is so easy to grow, perfect in a pot and because it flowers later than many varieties it fruits much more successfully too. Beautifully symmetrically shaped, ‘Crimson Bonfire’s foliage has an intense, rich, burgundy colouration, making it a wonderful feature tree too.

Combined with the golden orange and crimson peaches it makes a particularly exotic and decorative addition to any patio – why not grow yours in an attractive, decorative pot?

Completely winter hardy no matter how cold it gets, you can look forward to your very own harvest of home-grown peaches for years to come.

If you can resist eating them straight from the tree, your plentiful crops of sweet, juicy peaches will make wonderful desserts and smoothies!

Grown on a dwarfing root stock, so it will never get too big – you can even grow it on your balcony!

TOP TIP: Peach yield will be increased by keeping the fruit tree canopy dry when in blossom (when the tree is pollinated), such as in a greenhouse, conservatory or lean-to. Although self-fertile, using a dry small artist’s paintbrush to brush pollen from flower to flower will hugely increase the amount of fruit you get too!
