Peach 'Diamond' Tree

• To improve your crops, dab each flower with an artist's soft paintbrush on warm spring and summer days to boost pollination.
• Try to keep the canopy dry as the leaves emerge each spring to avoid leaf curl.

• Although frost-tolerant, it is still best practice to protect blossom with fleece.
• When fruit appears, it will need thinning. Remove poorly placed, small or misshapen fruits when they are about the width of your little fingernail. With peaches, aim to have a piece of fruit growing every 15cm or so.
• If growing in a container, water the tree almost every day during the growing season and give them a high potash liquid feed every couple of weeks.
• Avoid excessive or irregular watering when fruit is ripening to prevent the skin splitting.
• As the fruit develops it may need protection from birds and squirrels.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
