I've been thinking of getting a peach tree and planting it in our
greenhouse. A relative has done this very successfully in Wales and I
assume there's no reason it wouldn't work well in Scotland.

I'm assuming an early-cropping variety would be best, but I'd also like
a decent flavour. I've seen in catalogues a variety called 'Sirius';
would this be any good and does anyone have any other recommendations?
Also, is there anything in particular I should be aware of in caring for it?

Can you visit somewhere LIKE West Dean College? ( a restored walled
kitchen garden with greenhouses)

Here I have seen old peach trees trained in greenhouses. You could get
advise from such a place.... or the RHS?
