Avalon Pride Peach Tree Options Explained
Generic: Comes in a 4.5-9L pot, will be around 60-120cm tall on one of several rootstocks to include Montclere. 2-3 years old, previously pruned to promote a strong branch structure. Expect a final height of 3-4m tall.
St Julian A: Comes in a 7-12L pot and will be around 150-200 cm tall at delivery on a St Julian A rootstock, 2-4 years old. Comes previously pruned to promote a strong branch structure but will grow to around 3-4m.
Our Prunus Persica Avalon Pride peach tree is more resistant to leaf curl (until one comes along wearing a level 4 bio-hazard suit). The resistance to peach tree leaf curl seems to improve until maturity so some treatment may still be needed until then. It has fruits similar to Santa Claus (large and red) which mature in mid-September and they are excellent eating/slurping/finger licking. We mean mature as in the flesh becomes softer, juicer and sweeter, not suddenly takes responsibility for its actions and volunteers to do some of the housework without being chased.
Apparently, it was discovered as a seedling in Washington State, now we assume state means location, not an emotional wreck.
Our Avalon Pride produces attractive pink flowers so just be aware of that around blossom time if your gardening ignorant partner presents you with a lovely bouquet. They may score highly in the romance stakes but your fruit yield will suffer!
Expect to see large peaches from the Avalon Pride around August time unless you have a neighbour with a warped sense of humour that superglues fruits to your tree.
It is supplied as a bush meaning that the first branches of the Peach tree start coming out of the trunk quite low down instead of having a section of clear trunk which gives you a conventional lollipop tree shape.
Time of Picking: Mid-September
Self-Fertile/Not Self-Fertile: Avalon Pride is a self-fertile peach, therefore it will produce Peach fruits without the need of a second Peach tree nearby.
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.
We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.
