Hi All,
I recently saw a most beautiful dwarf peach tree for sale with vivid deep
red leaves. It was about 1.5' tall. However, the label said that it most
likely wouldn't fruit except in rare occasions.
I have a couple of questions:
Why would it occasionally fruit?
Is there a similar variety that would regularly fruit?
I have a very small garden, so have to choose plants carefully - I loved
this tree (especially the leaf colour), but it would be nice if it fruited
as well.
If anyone knows of a variety that would that would be great!
Thanks,
Matthew

It's not really warm enough here for peaches, so it would only fruit in
the occasional warm season, especially if grown outside.

Is there a similar variety that would regularly fruit?

My bog standard peach tree fruits every year. Masses of large juicy
peaches. It is in a sheltered and sunny position in north Cambs.

On a recent "open gardens" weekend in a local village, on garden had
a nectarine loaded with fruit, trained very neatly on wires on a brick
wall, facing south. Obviously it is there permanently and looked very
healthy. Can you give your peach a warm, sheltered position?
Good luck with it.
