STONEFRUIT DOUBLE Peach Red Haven & Nectarine Snow Queen
Waimea Nurseries grows a range of fruit trees with two or three varieties on the one tree. Some fruit types are grown with both varieties grafted at the bottom of the tree trunk, while others are grown as tiers of branching. The method of propagation is based on the natural habit of the fruit types, to ensure a good shaped tree will result. The tree should be labelled with a small mark of paint to identify which part of the tree each variety is located. This also helps to avoid the potential of accidently pruning off one of the varieties!

Peach Red Haven: The industry standard peach variety for many years. Firm, yellow fleshed medium to large size fruit. Excellent flavour. Freestone and mid season. Consistent and proven performer.
