A wonderful dwarf variety. Lovely pink spring blooms lead to tangy and sweet white-and-red-fleshed free-stone fruit. The naturally shorter size makes it easy to cover to protect from spring frost, as well as easier to harvest. Self-fruitful, but planting with other varieties will increase yield. Recommended chill: 450-600 hrs. Deciduous.
LIGHT: Full sun
WATER: Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry.
SIZE: Reaches 6 to 8 ft. tall, 6 ft wide.
