Angel Peach Tree - Heavenly Sweet

    43 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

Hey there, I dunno how old this thread is but oh well. We recently bought three stone fruit trees and one of them was an angel peach from bunnings. Because of space we thought we would give espalier-ing a try, so while the tree was dormant we put in the ground with a bag of composted manure and trimmed the roots (which were completely and utterly rootbound) and the branches, and tied the branches to some horizontal wires we put up. The other two trees grew and a growing fine, they havent looked back, but the angel peach, not bud nor leaf have grown out of it since we put it in about 2 months ago. all of the branch tips are shrivelled and look dead, but the main trunk looks fine, We can't figure it out! We have another different type of peach that was doing fine growing naturally without training, then one year it just stopped growing and all of the branch tips went shrivelled and died like the angel, we ended up cutting half the tree off trying to find some living branches! I dunno if it is of any help but when we got the tree there was a ball of very gooey sticky sap coming out of the trunk, we wiped it off by accident when we put the tree in and it came back and dried out, then the tree did the shrivel thing. So far the tree looks like its gonna go.
Please help!!

Hi all Peach lovers! Can somebody assist with a little angel peach problem. I purchased my plant 6 months ago as bare rooted stock from a reputable local nursery. It went into flower two months ago and then two weeks ago we got some peaches (now 4 in total). It is in a large pot with very rich soil... sourced from my worm farm / compost. All seems to be well with it apart from about 20% of the leaves that are showing signs of blistering and going a lighter green colour as compared to the healthy ones. Am I giving it to much love? Does it need a certain nutrients or is it under attack from a bug? Does anybody have an answer / solution... preferably natural as I enjoy chemical free. Thanks

This is classic peach leaf curl.

Copper sprays at budburst will fix.

Hi, I purchased one of these young Angel peach trees a few months ago, and have it in a 'general potting mix', in full sun. (No flower or fruit as yet). I am watering every evening, but the tips of the leaves are all going brown & dry. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with it, or what I should do? Many thanks, John.

Possibly your potting mix has dried right out during one of those really hot days. Try adding some water crystals then water it thoroughly then give it some weak seasol and mulch it (not against the stem). If it's going to stay in a pot try to protect the pot from direct sun on it during the hot days because it makes the soil in the pot very hot which both dries out the soil( which can then become water repellent) and cooks the roots.

Hi janelle, this is the wrong time of the year for your peach to set fruit, should be in spring. For reasons unknown to me fruit trees sometimes flower and set fruit in autumn but the fruitlets never come to anything and fall off just as yours is doing now.

Hi amanda, yes they will flower again and set fruit in the spring (well mine always do ). I don't know the exact scientific reason but something in the weather tricks the plants seasonal rhythm and off they go.

Hey Jantina - none of my stone fruit loose all their leaves in winter..I was thinking that it may be something to do with the fact that they are all low-chill varieties? and that perhaps I a in a marginal area for low chill? Does anyone else have this problem at all?

Hi Jantina - they lose about half of them only...it threw me a bit when it came to the first bordeaux spraying last yr - but I just did it anyway!?

I have been thinking that maybe the climate is too warm for high chill ... but can get too cool for low chill? Any thoughts out there?

I live in Port Macquarie NSW and my local nuresery has just sold me the temperate variety of Angel Peach. I questioned them whether this variety would set fruit and they said it was fine for our region. They claimed they never get the low chill variety. Winter nights here are quite cold between 0 & 8 degrees with a few nights nights below zero. I also get one or two frosts a year in my yard. Should expect any fruit. Thanks Steve

They should flower soon ie when the spring weather hits. Fertilise now with a general purpose fert, top up later with more nitrogen.
