Angel Peach Tree - Heavenly Sweet

    17 responses

Correy starts with ...
Here is the first forum topic on the Angel Peach Tree so if you have some questions or just want to discuss this exciting new variety feel free.

It is the second release from Plantnet who bought us the Pinkabelle Apple Tree which has proven to be very popular among backyard orchardists.

It is set to be released this winter and is a different variety to the China Flat peach and I am told the higher chill variety colours better (see pictures for proof) and tastes even sweeter. (I am guessing this is why they call it "Heavenly Sweet")

If you are in a subtropical environment like myself up here in Brisbane then you will want the low chill variety. For all you southerners who get frosts then go for the low chill variety.

Below are some stunning pictures of the fruit.

Hi David:

To get a High Chill Angel Peach Variety you usually need about 800-1200 chill hours. Which are hours where the temperature drops below 7 degrees.

Melbourne Minimum Temperature
June:7° July:6° August:7°
Brisbane Minimum Temperature
June:11° July:10° August:10°
Adelaide Minimum Temperature
June:7° July:7° August:8°

Canberra Minimum Temperature
June:1° July:0° August:1°
Sydney Minimum Temperature
June:9° July:8° August:9°
Perth Minimum Temperature
June:10° July:9° August:9°
Darwin Minimum Temperature
June:21° July:20° August:21°
Hobart Minimum Temperature
June:5° July:4° August:5°

From the looks in Adelaide you may be best going with the Low Chill Variety unless you are in a position that gets some good frosts.

Laura the angel peach will be trialed first through Daley's this winter then I would suspect it would be rolled out to other outlets.

John, I am getting one too, I haven't tasted one yet... But from the pictures they look great.

Anonymous: We are getting the high chill angel peaches in winter. Then a few months later the low chill angel peaches. I am guessing but most peach trees produce in 2-3 years.

David: The Angel peach is a totally different variety to the china flat. I would assume though that they are related.

I let it fruit a bit, so you get to taste it and to weigh the limbs down.

Don't over do it, one or two fruit per limb would be OK.

I don't buy into the no fruit logic some poiple have, seems like a waste of fruiting potential to me.

Does anyone know which nursery in Perth has the best stock of Pinkabelles and Angel peach trees currently in stock. I've been ringing around and most only have left overs (one or two)pinkabelles available and no peach. By reading posts about the peach and apple trees I'm very keen to get a tree of each very soon.

Pinkabella are avail in most Bunnings Warehouse Garden Centers .....
I saw heaps of them in Midland, Busselton, Bunbury, Rockingham and a few in Riverton? (High Street) and Belmonts stores in the weekend.

Angel Peach is available from most Dawsons and Waldecks, and Margaret River's Miter 10.

Good luck !!

Shaun, thanks for the info, really appreciate the help.
On a funny note, I think you will need to seek some help because I sense a very strong addiction to Bunnings. Your not alone, it affects most of us too. Travelling to the Belmont, Bunbury, Busselton, Rockingham, Midland & Riverton stores in one weekend which I estimate is an approx. 500km round trip is absolutely amazing..or you deliver plants to Bunnings, then your just doing your job. :)

Cheers!

The low chill variety is not available yet.
The Angel peach will do fine in most of Sydney's outer suburbs.(where it is colder)
Engalls Nursery at Dural has a good supply of Angel peaches and pinkabelle apples
