Šeftelija, Vineyard Peach
Unknown
Vineyard peach
Late August
Šantelija is an ancient peach variety. Some call it wild apricot or wild peach, but regardless of the name, this neglected fruit deserves a place in your garden or orchard. The term "Vineyard Peach" or "Šeftelija" indicates that it is a naturally self-rooted peach variety. It is used for fresh consumption as well as for processing into sweets, juices, jams, compotes, and even spirits. There are many of its variants in the field, but organized selection has not been conducted.
The flesh is flavorful, juicy, aromatic, and sweet – a true delight for the palate.
The fruit is small. The skin is yellow-green, turning reddish on about one-third of the surface when ripe. The flesh is yellow and aromatic. It contains two to three times more vitamins and minerals than standard grafted peaches.
Self-pollinating.
Much more resistant to diseases than cultivated peach varieties.
You can purchase seedlings of Peach Šantelija 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.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
