Rochester (Prunus 'Rochester') is the largest and most suitable of the yellow fleshed peach varieties for the British climate.  Its flavour is excellent, with a delightful soft and juicy texture.  Rochester is a regularly cropping peach.  It also flowers late, therefore, avoiding early frosts.

Time of Picking: Mid August

Self-Fertile/Not Self-Fertile: Rochester is a self-fertile peach, therefore only one tree is required for pollination

Rootstock Available:

This tree is available on a Semi-Vigorous St Julien Rootstock meaning the tree will reach an ultimate height of 3.6 metres.

Regular watering is a pre-requisite especially in dry and warm/hot weather.  Our nectarine trees are grown in the UK so they are well-suited to UK climatic conditions.  

We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.

Trouble Choosing
Cannot decide which fruit tree? Take a look at our TOP SELLING FRUIT TREES

Wet Ground
If you have wet conditions then choose a PEAR TREE first, followed by APPLE TREES. They don't prefer it but will tolerate water, H2O or liquid better, depending which one you have most of!

General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule. 

General Pollination Information
For more information on pollination please look at  POLLINATION EXPLAINED or choosing the CORRECT POLLINATION PARTNER

Important Peach Fruit Tree information
All our garden Peach fruit trees are carefully nursery grown in pots and containers which means you can PLANT THEM ALL YEAR ROUND. Unfortunately all Peach trees do not winter (Oct-Mar) very well if left outside in their pots. We advise planting Peach fruit trees directly into the soil OR keeping them in a heated conservatory or greenhouse during the winter period if you want to keep them in containers.
