This hardy, late blooming peach escapes spring frosts and sets fruit in much of the nation: it thrives in the East, in Colorado and in the Northwest. It has a high chilling requirement (1050 chill hours), and isn’t good for the Deep South. The beautiful, large fruit is bright red over yellow, is firm, sweet and delicious. Since it resists browning and is freestone, it is great for fresh eating, freezing or canning. Introduced from the North Carolina Experiment station in 1988. It ripens in August. USDA Zones 4-9. #C505A Each $24.95
Genetic Dwarfs Genetic Dwarf peaches and nectarines grow 4-5’ tall and are great in a pot on the patio, deck or in the ground. Each is grafted about 18” high to make a beautiful dwarf bush like the one pictured. All ripen in June in central California to early August in the Pacific Northwest. All genetic dwarfs are very susceptible, but avoid leaf curl when they are grown in a special, easy to accomplish way. Cover the tree so it stays dry from mid Dec. to Feb. and it won’t get leaf curl. Each is on Lovell rootstock.
