| Description | The perfect peach for small gardens, or even in patio containers! This dwarf variety reaches only 5 to 6 feet tall, for easier harvesting and pruning. Showy, bright pink flowers yield sweet, yellow, freestone fruit in mid-summer. Partly self-fruitful; better harvest with a pollenizer. Recommended chill: 400 hours. |

| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Edible, Attracts Pollinators, Compact Form |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Flower Color | Pink |

| Care Instructions | Provide humus-rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil. Water deeply, regularly during the first few first growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Prune to thin during dormant season; this results in new growth that produces the flowers and fruit. |
