peach in greenhouse

Four years ago I planted a peregrine peach in my 20ft greenhouse.
Despite its luxurious growth I have never had more than a couple of
peaches each summer. There is plenty of blossom but little fruit
sets. I believe that the variety is self fertile.
Peach blossom is generally too early for insect pollination, you therefore
have a sexually frustrated peach tree.
You need to indulge in a little sex therapy for the poor plant and tickle
its fancy with a soft brush!
ie when in bloom go round the flowers with a small brush spreading pollen
from blossom to blossom
