Prunus persica 'MICHELINI' white flesh peach tree

Michelini is an old and popular peach tree variety with white flesh. The skin is mostly red with only some creamy white parts. Fruit is large, rounded, juicy, and very sweet. The white flesh has red stripes nearer the stone. Michelini peach is freestone and self-fertile (no other tree is needed as a pollinator). It ripens from late August until mid September, and it is not suitable for storing or transporting.

We suggest planting peach trees in free space so it can feel cold, spring breeze which will delay flowering and thus prevent the flowers from frost damage. It likes slightly alkaline soil, moist but well drained. Do not transplant bare-root trees in autumn, only in spring. Pruning is possible in early spring after flowering or in mid-late August after harvesting the fruit – reduce long branches to 30-50% of their size and remove weak ones. The best yield however is from an unpruned tree which grows naturally. Hardy to about -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
