Notable Characteristics of Prunus Persica Plant

The Dwarf Patio Peach Tree is native to China and is a cultivar of the Peach Tree. Peaches were spread to other parts of the world via trade routes like the silk road, and this cultivar followed. It is popular for its small size and was mostly cultivated for ornamental use, because though its fruit is large and fleshy, it is inedible due to its poor taste. It is prized for its small size because it fits perfectly on patios. Its leaves are long and narrow, and have a lovely, deep reddish hue that holds its color through the whole growing season. The branches are thick and woody, packed tightly with the dense foliage and large flowers surrounding the whole branch. The pink flowers and their pink stamen pop beautifully against the red leaves.

Landscape and Maintenance of Prunus Persica

This showy, pink tree is unfortunately a bit high maintenance. The Dwarf Patio Peach prefers moist, well drained soil but cannot tolerate waterlogged soil. It is also vulnerable to many diseases, including peach scab, peach leaf curl, leaf spots, bacterial canker, root rot and mildew. In addition, it can be infested by many insects including peach twig, borer, scale and spider mites who can eat away at the foliage and wood. The colors and size of the flowers can also be compromised by cold weather or late frosts. However, this magnificent tree packs a large punch despite its size, and is well worth including in your garden scape.

Care

Water apricot trees deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering. Prune annually in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead wood. Fertilize in early spring with balanced nutrients to promote healthy growth and fruit production.

Plant Reproduction

Patio Peach tree spreads through seed dispersal and grafting.

Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
