Peach Sorbet is a compact blueberry with stunning peach, pink, orange and emerald green leaves. White bell-shaped flowers appear in spring, leading to an abundant summer crop of blueberries. In most climates, this plant will keep its leaves throughout winter and turn a rich eggplant purple.
Low chill, so it grows and fruits well in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Self pollinating so you only need one tree. Already produces fruit when in season. Ideal for growing in pots. Max height 45-60cms. Heavy cropping. Can tolerate frost.
Care Instructions:
Give your plant a small amount of water everyday, preferably in the morning. If you plant your tree in the ground you will need to water it regularly for the first 2 years and then the roots should be able to find their own water. Use a general purpose fertiliser once a year and be sure to follow the instructions on the packet. To encourage new growth, prune branch tips at the end of summer. If you are growing your tree in a pot we recommend using a pot between 30-50lts. You can grow any fruit tree in a pot and it will restrict the height of the tree to approx 2m tall and it will still bear fruit, then if you plant it in the ground it will continue to grow taller.

How to care for your fruit tree
How to care for your fruit tree
When you receive your fruit trees please unpackage them as soon as possible and give them some water. It is normal for some of the fruit trees to wilt slightly in transit but they will revive quickly with care. Please water your trees everyday.
Planting Instructions:
In a pot: If you are planting your fruit tree in a pot long term we recommend using a 3-50 litre pot . Use premim potting mix or rich garden soil, place a saucer under the pot and grass clippings or mulch around the tree to help the tree retain moisture. Water every 1-2 days continually.
In the ground: Dig a hole 2 times larger than the size of the pot or bag the tree is currently in. Squeeze the pot to loosen the root system before planting. Water well and add mulch or grass clipping around the tree. Water daily for the first year and then after that the tree should be able to sourse its own water through its root system, but continue to observe the tree and water if necessary.
Wait 1 month after planting before fertilising to avoid burning the roots.
Special care instructions for lychee, avocado and bananas, please see the product description for each tree.
Fertiliser: Fertilise your trees once a year in springtime following the correct instructions on the packet.
Pruning: Pruning your tree ecourages new gowth and a bushier growth habit. At the end of summer we recommend pruning the tips of the tree branches by 2-3cms or you can prune the tree to a desired shape.
If you have any care questions please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you.
