Peach ‘Peregrine’

One of the best peaches for growing in the UK, ‘Peregrine’ produces a heavy and reliable crop of red-flushed fruits that are usually ready to harvest from early August. Their white flesh has a rich and delicious flavour, and it comes away easily from the stone. The deep pink flowers that precede the fruits put on a great display in spring and make this a fine ornamental as well as productive plant. Discovered at the Rivers Orchard in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire in 1906 – and still in demand today.
