Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Prunus persica ‘Camden Excellent’

A Prunus persica (L.) Batsch. cultivar. I have found no description of this peach or nectarine. Probably a peach as nectarines are identified in the catalogues.

Listed in all published catalogues as ‘Camden excellent’ [Peach no.6/1843]. This peach is mentioned in an early gardening notebook but without details [MP A2948 Notebook 4, p.9/1845].
