Prunus persica White Vine Peach - Vineyard Peach Tree

The White Vine Peach is a variety that is self-fertile, vigorous, and late-ripening. Its small white-fleshed fruits have a unique flavour, sweet and melting. They are round, with red skin covered in a grey fuzz. They are delicious in compotes, preserves, and fresh. The harvest takes place when the fruits are fully ripe, typically in September.

The species name 'Persica' was given to the peach, which was believed to originate from Persia. In reality, all cultivated forms are native to northern China. Its introduction to Europe occurred in the 6th century and experienced significant development in the 19th century. Numerous selections aiming to improve the fruit's taste qualities took place from that point onwards. The White Vine Peach was used at the end of vine rows: more susceptible to diseases than the vine, it allowed the winemaker to anticipate treatment for their vine as soon as symptoms appeared.

Like many fruit trees, the White Vine Peach thrives in light, rich, and deep soils. It does not tolerate excessive water or heavy, compact soils well. A sunny location sheltered from the wind will aid in fruiting. It is a vigorous tree with a spreading habit, indicating a tall trunk with numerous horizontally growing branches, giving it an elegant spreading silhouette. Its deciduous foliage is a bright green and has a slight almond scent. The leaves are long, measuring 8 to 15 cm (3 to 6in) by 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in), with short petioles. Its late pink flowering occurs in April. The flowers are hermaphroditic and self-fertile. The fruits are round, with red skin covered in a grey fuzz. They have a unique flavour, sweet and melting. This tree does not require much maintenance and responds well to pruning.

Peaches can be enjoyed raw, cooked, sweet, savory, flambéed, iced, or deglazed. They pair well with wine and certain meats, such as duck. They are used in numerous recipes, particularly for jams, compotes, and pastries...

This fruit tree is delivered in a 'ready-to-plant' root ball. During planting, the root ball should be planted as is. The biodegradable tontine that surrounds the root ball and preserves the rootlets will decompose naturally during the plant's growth. By proceeding in this way, you ensure better establishment.
