Bare Root Rochester Peach Tree
The Rochester Peach tree provides one of the largest yellow peach fruits of all the Peach trees. Expect the flavour to be of excellent quality with juicy flesh and firm texture. Chronologically speaking, if you could set your watch by a tree, the Rochester Peach would be the Casio of the orchard as it is considered a reliable cropper.
As the Rochester Peach flowers late then less preventative action is required to protect against frost. The Rochester is unsurprisingly one of the most popular Peach trees in the UK because of its characteristics and ease of growing.
Time of Harvest: Mid August
