Scarlet Prince Peach (Prunus persica ‘Scarlet Prince’) is a true royal fruit tree that has everything you love about a white peach in a small compact package!
Spring smothered your tree in the most brilliant reddish-pink blossoms! These ruffled beauties attract butterflies and beneficial pollinators, as well as the eye of everyone passing by your home! This small Peach tree fills out with a flourish of lush green foliage for the summer, crowning itself in long wavy green leaves to act as the perfect backdrop for the main attraction!
