Peach trees are one of those classic fruit trees that make a garden feel truly alive. Prunus persica ‘Wassenberger’ produces attractive yellow-orange peaches with a red blush and the rich, juicy flavour that has made peaches one of the most cherished fruits in home gardens.

This peach tree 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 method widely used in professional orchards to regulate tree height while encouraging earlier and reliable fruit production. This results in a tree that is easier to prune, maintain, and harvest while still producing generous yields.

In spring, ‘Wassenberger’ produces beautiful pink blossoms that attract pollinators and signal the beginning of the fruiting season. These flowers develop into flavourful peaches with a characteristic red blush and sweet aromatic flesh.

‘Wassenberger’ is self-fertile, meaning it can set fruit independently without the need for a second peach tree nearby, although the presence of other peach trees may help improve overall yields.

For best results, plant in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Like all peaches, the tree benefits from warmth and protection from late spring frosts while in bloom.

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

With the right placement and care, this peach becomes a long-term companion in the garden, rewarding patience with one of the finest fruits we can harvest at home.

All trees are sold and delivered as 1 year old trees, in jute bags filled with rich Dutch soil.
