Height : 15 feet Spread: 15 feet Form: rounded
General Culture: Flowering Peach grows best in an open, sunny location sheltered from wind. The tree is moderately hard but quite short lived. Flowering Peach requires much pruning to stimulate flowering (Vis. 1) so it may always look overly pruned. The usefulness of Flowering Peach is reduced by disease susceptibility, the need for much pruning, and its short life. Flowering occurs in spring before the leaves come out and it is sometimes cut short frosts. After flowering, prune to encourage formation of flowering wood for nest year. The fruit are small peaches. Flower color depends on the cultivar grown. Spring flowering trees are available that are superior to Flowering Peach.
