Bonanza Peach
Best dwarf fruit tree for gardeners with limited outdoor space.
The Bonanza Peach is a true dwarf variety, perfect for smaller spaces, reaching a mature height of only 6 feet with a 5-foot spread. In early spring, it bursts with stunning, fragrant rose-pink flowers before the dark green foliage emerges. This deciduous tree produces firm, juicy golden-yellow peaches flushed with red, ready for harvest in mid-summer. It requires full sun and well-drained soil to thrive. While it is somewhat self-pollinating, cross-pollination enhances fruit set. Be aware that this variety is susceptible to late spring freezes and certain diseases, necessitating attentive care.
