Peach tree (Red leaved) 'Rubira'

Low trunk 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The peach tree Rubira is an attractive tree with a lush bloom and juicy, sweet fruits. The Rubira is known for its large, aromatic peaches with a bright red blush and a golden yellow skin. This tree requires a sunny position and well-drained, fertile soil to grow optimally. For a good harvest, regular pruning in winter and early spring is necessary to maintain the shape and health of the tree. Rubira is sensitive to frost, so a sheltered location is recommended. In summer, the tree needs sufficient water to ripen the fruits.

Low stem means that the tree is grafted onto a slow growing rootstock, which means that the trees bear fruit faster and grow less tall. The advantages of this are that they are suitable for smaller (vegetable) gardens, so that you can grow more varieties in the same space. It is also handy that you can harvest easily, safely and without a long ladder.

In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and can better withstand periods of drought. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.
