Peach Avalon Pride 1

Peach Avalon Pride 1 £29.99
This recently introduced peach appears to be strongly resistant to leaf curl disease. From a chance seedling found by a Miss Pride in woods in Washington State, near Seattle.

Left with a pile of twigs she managed to revive and propagate a further tree and move it to a bear-free environment. Trees are self-fertile with pretty pink flowers and bear large, deliciously juicy fruits from early August.Grown on Montclaire rootstock which is highly productive with medium vigour. It also makes trees less susceptible to frost damage.Despatched in November 2011, weather permitting; alternatively despatch will be February/March 2012.
