BELONGS TO CATEGORIES Fruit trees

Spring Bell is an early peach tree variety with yellow flesh. It is very similar to an older variety Spring Crest but exhibits better resistance to common diseases and firmer flesh. It makes medium-sized, rounded fruit with softly hairy skin that is mostly covered with red tones. The flesh is yellow, juicy but firm, very sweet, and clingstone. In wine areas it matures from late June and the fruit cannot be stored. It is self-fertile.

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. Thinning is recommended to achieve larger fruit. Spring Bell is reliable down to about -27 °C (USDA zone 5b).
