    I bought a peach tree in Aldi last year and had it in a pot in the polytunnel as I wasn't sure where I would plant it and I remember it took a good while for the leaves to come on it - it was maybe June. I planted it in the ground in the tunnel last autumn and it flowered earlier this year and there are 2 peaches on it. I should have done some pollination work and might have gotten some more peaches but 2 is a start. I'd say give it a few weeks as the weather has been quite cold yet outside for the time of year.

    It looks fine. You need to be patient :) Dont expect much in the way of growth this year.

    Yeah, it's budding - that's the main thing. Mine (another from Aldi) isn't doing anything yet. It's interesting really, peaches are known for coming out early and getting hit by frosts, the variety 'Red Haven' must be latter blooming to miss them perhaps?
