Ideal for a sheltered sunny wall, the unusually flattened fruit of ‘Saturn’ (sometimes sold as ‘donut’ or ‘Chinese’ peaches) have a delicious, sweet flavour with juicy white flesh. Beautiful blossoms of pastel pink clothe the tree in mid- to late spring heralding the great-tasting novelty. This variety is self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.
Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like peaches should be pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called silver leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Check and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
