Toute ma commande était parfaite sauf le pêcher qui est arrivé avec des branches sèches, non taillées. Quelques branches cassées dans le transport. Dommage !

Description

The Bonanza Dwarf Peach is a self-fertile variety that forms a small tree not exceeding 2 metres (7 feet) in height and produces a good yield of medium-sized fruits. Peaches with red skin and yellow flesh, delicious. This variety is suitable for growing in pots or in the ground in small gardens. Harvesting takes place at ripeness from early August.

 

The species name 'Persica' was given to the peach, which was thought to originate from Persia. In reality, all cultivated forms are native to northern China. Its appearance in Europe occurred in the 6th century and experienced significant development in the 19th century. From there, numerous selections aimed at improving the fruit's taste qualities took place.

Like many fruit trees, the Bonanza Dwarf Peach appreciates light, rich, deep soils and does not tolerate excess water or heavy, compact soils. A sunny location sheltered from the wind will aid in fruiting. It is a low-vigour tree with slow growth, making it suitable for cultivation in pots on your patios and balconies. It does not exceed 2m (7ft) in height as an adult and is smaller in a container. Its spreading, rounded habit is very pleasant.

Its deciduous foliage is a bright green and emits a slight almond scent. Its leaves are long, measuring 8 to 15 cm (3 to 6in) in length and 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) in width, with a short petiole. Its dark pink flowering, which occurs as early as mid-March, is very decorative. The flowers are hermaphroditic and self-fertile. The fruiting results in medium-sized fruits, approximately 7 cm (3in) in diameter. Their yellow flesh is juicy and fragrant. This tree does not require too much maintenance and tolerates pruning well.

 

Peaches can be enjoyed raw, cooked, sweet, savory, flambéed, frozen, or thawed. They pair very well with wine and certain meats, such as duck. They can be found in numerous recipes, particularly for jams, compotes, pastries,...

 

This fruit tree is delivered in a 'ready-to-plant' rootball. During planting, the rootball should be planted as is. The biodegradable tontine that surrounds the rootball and preserves the rootlets will decompose on its own during the plant's growth. By doing so, you ensure better establishment.

Planting and care

The Bonanza Dwarf Peach is preferably planted from October to December. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the day, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water, in order to moisten the entire root ball by capillary action. Add compost to the bottom of the hole. Plant the tree in the hole, fill with a mixture of soil and compost. Gently tamp around the base of the fruit tree as you fill, the roots should be in close contact with the soil. The root ball should be completely covered. Water generously.

The Bonanza Dwarf Peach has a semi-pivot root system. It will thrive in fairly deep soils. It also prefers light and well-draining soil.

Care

Pruning instructions In the following spring after planting, a first training pruning will be welcome. Keep only the branches that will form the framework of the tree (about 5 branches). The fruits appear on one-year-old branches. The wood that has borne fruit will not reproduce. For the fruiting pruning, prune the branches that have already fruited to 2 buds above the future branching. Remove the branches in the center that cross each other and shorten the longest ones that extend outward in order to maintain a harmonious silhouette.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
Pruning time January to February, November to December
