Description
The 'Grosse Mignonne' Peach is an ancient self-fertile variety, very vigorous and offering good disease resistance. Appreciated for a long time for the very red skin of its fruits, which easily detach from its white, juicy and fragrant flesh. This peach reaches ripeness quite late in the season, at the end of August or beginning of September. The added bonus of this variety: the pink flowering brings undeniable decorative interest.
The species name 'Persica' was given to the peach, which was thought to originate from Persia. In reality, all cultivated forms originate from northern China. Its appearance in Europe took place in the 6th century and experienced strong development in the 19th century.
Like many fruit trees, the 'Grosse Mignonne' Peach appreciates light, rich and deep soils, it does not tolerate excess water or heavy and compact soils. It is a tree of very good vigor. It remains of modest size, rarely exceeding 4m (13ft) in height. A particularity of this variety is the vibrant pink flowering that occurs in April. It is abundant and appears before the young leaves develop. Being self-fertile, this peach does not need the presence of another variety to bear fruit. The deciduous foliage is bright green and emits a slight almond scent.
This variety can be planted almost anywhere on the territory, provided it has a beautiful sunny exposure and is sheltered from cold winds north of the Loire. The fruiting results in beautiful red and satin peaches. The white and juicy flesh is red around the stone. The sweet taste is highly fragrant. Peaches can be enjoyed raw, cooked, sweetened, salted, flambéed, frozen or deglazed. They pair very well with wine and certain meats, such as duck. They can be found in many recipes, particularly for jams, compotes, pastries... Surrounded by a few bulbs, they will accompany the beginning of spring with freshness and cheerfulness.

Planting and care
The 'Grosse Mignonne' Peach tree is preferably planted in October or November. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the chosen day, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water, in order to moisten the entire root ball by capillarity. Add compost to the bottom of the hole. Plant the tree, fill the planting hole with a mixture of soil and compost. Gently compact the soil around the base as you fill, ensuring that the roots are in close contact with the soil. The root ball should be completely covered. Water generously immediately after planting.
The 'Grosse Mignonne' Peach tree has a semi-taproot system. It will thrive in fairly deep soils. It also prefers a light and well-draining soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
