Flat peach


The flat peach tree is barely a metre tall and I intend to keep it low.  This is the fruit in October, developing very nicely.  The tree is now under netting as there are enough hungry creatures ready to plunder my precious fruits.


The peach looks ready but it is still firm.  There are enough fruits for the family and I hope they will ripen beautifully.  The flesh is white, sweet and juicy.


Fortunately the tree did not suffer the curl leaf blight, which affected the big peach tree.  Looking after fruit trees is just as demanding as bringing up children.
