As a newly developed peach cultivar, the Scarlet Prince is disease resistant and cold tolerant. The branches are easy to train and can be pruned to establish low maintenance.
Moist, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter is best to keep this peach tree healthy. An annual application of slow release fertilizerĀ will benefit the tree for structural growth and increase fruit yield. Water thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system and during the fruiting period to avoid blossom drop.
This peach cultivar will produce fruit after 1-2 years of being established and does not need a cross-pollinator.Ā Self-FertileĀ are great for small spaces and will make a delightful addition to your landscape. This fruit tree produces superb peaches, and the clustered pink blossoms will not disappoint!
