    I'm looking for a fan trained or espaliered peach peregrine tree max 1 meter high. I'm in the North West and I'm struggling to find a supplier. Any suggestions, please.

    I dont think Peregrine is a dwarf peach, you need one of the ones that are naturally dwarf.
    1 metre is pretty dwarf, are you saying you dont want it to get bigger than that?

    I'm asking the question for a friend, but my understanding is that he wants to keep the tree hight low and spread the branches horizontally.

      I'm a failed peach trainer.:biggrin:
      I always found they like to go upwards rather than sideways, but it might be possible.
      Horizontal :scratch: I dont know, 45 degrees a bit more likely.

        Aha! I have two flat peach trees grown from seed two years ago. They are in pots (a couple of feet of growth and probably needing pruning to make a less bush shape with single trunk not multiple but anyway…) and one has grown through the bottom into the ground which gets interesting.

        I am now faced with the lovely problem of what the heck to do with them.

        I am assuming the sunniest spot I can find and some nice compost?
