Peach Honey Babe - Bare-Rooted

Peach Honey Babe is a delightful miniature peach tree, perfect for smaller gardens or patio container growing. Despite its compact size, this variety produces an abundance of full-sized, juicy peaches with a sweet, honeyed flavor that ripens in mid to late summer. The fruits feature a lovely red blush over a yellow background, making them as attractive as they are tasty.

Honey Babe is particularly suited to cottage and urban garden settings. It thrives in full sun, ensuring that it receives plenty of light for optimal fruit development. This tree prefers well-drained, fertile soil and regular watering, especially during the fruiting period. It's self-fertile, so it doesn't require another peach variety to produce fruit, though cross-pollination can increase yield.

It typically grows to a height of about 1.5-2m with a similar spread. Its dwarf nature makes it an excellent choice for gardeners with limited space but who still desire the fresh, sweet rewards of home-grown peaches.

What is a bare-rooted tree?

Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport. 

What are the benefits? 

• Less packaging and plastic waste involved in growing process and transportation. 
• Plant has more root mass as the roots have not been constricted and twisted by a pot.
• They are easier to carry and plant as they are extremely lightweight.
• Bare-rooted trees are cheaper as they do not come with soil and pots. 
• Planting bare-rooted trees in the winter follows the natural pattern of the seasons.
