DWARF Prunus Persica 'Crimson Rocket' (Dwarf Crimson Rocket Peach) is the perfect choice for gardeners with limited space but a craving for delicious peaches. This unique columnar tree grows upward rather than outward, making it ideal for compact gardens, patios, or containers. Despite its compact size, it produces full-sized, freestone peaches with the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavours. The yellow, smooth flesh makes it an ideal dessert peach, ripening in mid-August and storing well.
Self-pollinating and easy to care for, the Crimson Rocket Peach thrives in loamy, well-drained soil with average moisture levels. It requires full sun and enjoys a soil pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. This tree is perfect for those looking to enjoy fresh peaches from their garden in just 2-4 years after planting.
