(Super Dwarf) Prunus Persica 'Valley Red' (Peach Valley Red)
(Super Dwarf) Prunus Persica 'Valley Red' (Peach Valley Red) is a compact, columnar peach tree, prized for its beautiful, sweet, and juicy red-blushed peaches. The fruit features vibrant red skin and smooth, yellow flesh with a rich, sweet flavour, making it perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserving. This variety offers excellent fruit quality while maintaining a small, manageable size, making it ideal for small gardens, pots, or urban spaces.
The tree has a naturally upright, narrow growth habit, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its shape. In early spring, Peach Valley Red produces delicate pink blossoms, adding ornamental value while attracting pollinators for fruit production. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is a self-fertile variety that yields a bountiful harvest. The peaches ripen in late summer, providing a reliable and delicious crop.
As a super dwarf variety, Peach Valley Red is bred to stay small, making it perfect for gardeners with limited space, while still offering a full crop of high-quality peaches.
