I have bought a nice Peach tree (periguine) from homebase and it says on the label that it can be grown as a conservatory plant.
I have room in my conservatory so fancy giving it a go....anyone else tried it. It'll be grown in a pot so i can chuck it outside if needed.

I have a small nectarine that lives in the greenhouse in winter and in the garden in summer, last year it was smothered in the most beautiful blossom, got no fruit on it tho. They are nice looking trees, I love the shape of the leaves, let me know how it grows. Is it a full sized tree? mine is grafted onto dwarf stock. Should be alright in a conservatory provided you keep it well watered in the summer i suppose. Want a humongous pot for a full sized tree tho wouldn't you !

When your Nectarine is in bloom it would be a good idea to brush over the flowers with a soft paintbrush to help the fruit set. Sorry if you know and do this already  |

I bought Victoria plum tree from Homebase (I still work there) a few years ago and planted it in the garden and it went mad and grew and grew! At the end of the seaon one year I bought a Nectarine and kept it in a pot for a few years - in the greenhouse for the Winter and outside in the Summer and had some lovely fruit  |
