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.


Note that Peaches like to have a cold period in the winter to get
properly chilled and go properly dormant, and can be prone to things
like Red Spider Mite and other pests if grown all year round under
glass. Just something to consider esp. if you use the greenhouse for
other things over the winter.

however , growing them in pots works well. Plants are brought under
cover in mid to late winter. Then put back out the next summer.
