PEACHES AND NECTARINES
Peaches and nectarines can be budded or grafted on to seedling peach or nectarines. Seeds for propagation should be selected from healthy virus free parent trees. They can also be budded or grafted on to plum rootstocks which would have greater tolerance to water logging, on peach roots better drought tolerance. Peaches and nectarines may be suited to multigrafting better than most other sorts of fruit trees as there is generally less variable in vigor so different varieties grow more equally.

RIPENING TIMES - PEACHES
The following Ripening times have been given for some peaches and nectarines. Most are relatively modern varieties as peaches and nectarines are not as long lived as apples, pears, cherries, and a number of other types of fruit. However if anyone knows of any rarer peaches or nectarines with heritage status or un-named ones with characteristics worth propagating and preserving then please let us know.
Approximate ripening times for peaches-

Peaches and nectarines can be budded or grafted on to seedling peach or nectarines. Seeds for propagation should be selected from healthy virus free parent trees. They can also be budded or grafted on to plum rootstocks which would have greater tolerance to water logging, on peach roots better drought tolerance. Peaches and nectarines may be suited to multigrafting better than most other sorts of fruit trees as there is generally less variable in vigor so different varieties grow more equally.

RIPENING TIMES - PEACHES
The following Ripening times have been given for some peaches and nectarines. Most are relatively modern varieties as peaches and nectarines are not as long lived as apples, pears, cherries, and a number of other types of fruit. However if anyone knows of any rarer peaches or nectarines with heritage status or un-named ones with characteristics worth propagating and preserving then please let us know.
Approximate ripening times for peaches-
