Rochester is a yellow-fleshed peach with large fruit and good flavour.
Growing peaches in the uncertain UK climate is always something of a gamble but Rochester is one of the most reliable. It should be ripe in early August - just ahead of time when Victoria plums are ripe.
This is a free-stone peach, the stone falls away cleanly from the flesh.
Rochester is self-fertile, reliable, and easy to grow (at least by peach standards).
It flowers relatively late, which means the blossom is less likely to be affected by early frosts.
Rochester is susceptible to peach-leaf curl, so be sure to protect the tree from infection in late winter / early spring - covering the tree with a fleece is a good method.
Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Rochester was raised by a farmer in New York state, USA in the early 1900s.
