Prunus persica 'Black Boy'

A rare, hardy, heritage peach cultivar that is leaf curl resistant and has a wonderfully rich flavor. Dark reddish purple skin and flesh have resulted in its name. It ripens late in the  season and is self fertile - perfect for growers with long, hot summers.

Known mainly now in New Zealand, it is related to the Peche de Vigne, the black peach of France. Its fragrant, juicy flesh is highly prized eaten fresh and for preserves.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • What are the chill hours for the black boy 0each?

    As a heritage variatey it can be hard to pin down chill hours, but our best guess is 800+

    Freestone!

  • How would it do in maritime climates with cool summers? I'm in zone 9b on the coast

    It will do well, if you have Peach Leaf Curl in your area though just give it a spray of copper fungicide in the early spring.

    16 feet apart, on center, will be fine

    Yes it does quite well!

    For a time, but it will eventually outgrow it.

    At maturity, on this rootstock, this peach can reach heights of 18 feet if not pruned and maintained.

Tree Arrived Healthy and Well Developed

This peach came in healthy and with a green cambium. It had 2 sets of branching limbs, and although the top set was cracked, I wanted to prune to chest height anyway. The caliper was nice and large as well.

Great quality tree.

The black peach was worth the money in size and quality, this is what I expect at the price I payed, reminds me of the good old days when a mailorder bare root tree was not a whip with a one year old root stock grafted to it, and feel cheated for spending the money. RT did their job, sold a quality tree I feel good about the price.

I ordered the peach tree in the winter and it recently arrived. It (and the Russian Quince) was the healthiest tree I have ever received from a nursery. I placed it in a bucket of water and planted the next day. Since then, we've had lots of rain. I cant wait to watch it leaf out and grow!

Happy with my tree

My peach arrived as described. I planted and pruned it as advised in the Raintree educational videos. It has been in the ground for about a month and is already shooting out leaves.
