Cardinal peach
USA
Vineyard peach
Late July
This variety originated in Georgia. Cardinal is an early peach, ripening 19 days before Redhaven. It is a high-yielding crop, with mature trees producing an average of 30–35 kg of fruit per tree. Best enjoyed fresh, it is also excellent for canning or processing.
The peaches are sweet with a subtle, mild acidity.
The fruit is medium to large (140–150 g) with a prominent suture. The skin is yellowish with red streaks in small, irregular patterns across the surface. The stone partially separates from the flesh and has a tendency to crack.
Self-pollinating.
The tree is sensitive to low winter temperatures and leaf curl (Taphrina). It has strong resistance to powdery mildew but is less resistant to peach leaf curl disease.
You can purchase seedlings of Peach Cardinal at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
