Growing peaches outdoors in England

Can you grow peaches outdoors in colder climates such as England? Yes, but with some difficulty. My mother's parents had a productive peach tree, but it grew in a sunny sheltered site against a shed with a corrugated iron roof, which got very hot in summer. Peaches like heat, hate damp (although like all fruit trees they need enough moisture at their roots). I have sen them growing very well in the south of France and in Mallorca. We have one peach, variety Rochester, and some years it produces a few peaches which are very nice to eat but which rot very quickly. Julia just last winter planted 2 small peaches against the sunlit side of our apple store-we will see how they do. Peaches require a hotter, drier environment than they generally get in England, even on the south coast where we are fortunate to live, and when grown as a regular outdoor tree, as we grow apples pears and plums, they do not do well. Effectively, we import all our peaches from warmer and sunnier climes such as Italy. You can grow peaches (or apricots or nectarines) against a sunny wall, ideally cover them during winter and hit hard and frequently with fungicide to protect against peach leaf curl, which is an endemic fungal disease which can totally devastate peach trees-the example I show in this video is very mild. We also have a few grapes which I'll show later. Like peaches, grapes can be grown outdoors only with difficulty in England. It is better to grow the fruits which do best in YOUR climate. AND by the way, please tell us about them, its clear that there are thousands of youtubers out there who want specific how-to information. My youtube channel may have become popular, but there was a time when it began-if you have a story to tell about your fruit trees, why not tell it?
