Prunus persica ‘Madame Gaujard’ is a classic peach variety long appreciated in European gardens for its dependable fruiting and attractive spring blossom. The tree produces round peaches with rosy red and yellow skin and tender white flesh known for its sweet flavour, making it excellent for fresh eating.

This peach grows as a semi dwarf fruit tree, remaining more compact and manageable than traditional full-sized orchard peaches. The controlled size is achieved through grafting onto a slow-growing rootstock, a technique widely used in professional orchards to regulate tree height while encouraging earlier and reliable fruit production. The result is a tree that is easier to prune, maintain, and harvest while still producing generous yields.

In spring, the tree becomes covered in rosy pink blossoms that add early colour to the garden while attracting bees and other pollinators. The flowering period marks the beginning of the fruiting season and brings ornamental beauty long before harvest.

The fruits typically ripen during summer, often from July into August depending on local climate conditions and the amount of warmth and sun the tree receives. Once mature and growing in favourable conditions, a semi dwarf peach tree can produce generous yields of flavourful fruit.

‘Madame Gaujard’ is self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit without the need for a second peach tree nearby, although planting another peach within pollinator range may help increase overall yields.

Peach trees thrive in warm, sunny locations. Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil to encourage strong growth and fruit development. A sheltered position can help protect early blossoms from late spring frosts.

We select our fruit trees with winter hardiness in mind, ensuring suitability for reliable outdoor cultivation in our climate.
