Pink Cascade Weeping Peach Tree

Hi, Peach trees are relatively long lived. This peach tree is just like any other peach tee except that it weeps. That means if you don't have problems with borers, rodents chewing away at the base in winter and give it mulch, just a little fertilizer and water during extended dry spells it should live for 20 to 30 years maybe more if some storm doesn't damage it. This tree should be more widely planted because it is just gorgeous in the spring.

We planted this tree in 2006. The first few years, the fruit was small and didn't ripen, it would wither and looked like little raisins on the tree. I have usually tried to pick all the fruit off the tree when they are still very small, but as the tree has gotten larger it's gotten more difficult to remove all the fruit.
Last year, the fruit left on the tree were about 2" and rather than withering, were plump and juicy looking, and I actually ate one and it wasn't bad. This year I decided to leave a few on and see what would happen. Again they are about 2", and the flavor is not bad. Not as sweet as, say, an Elberta, but with only a hint of bitterness. I'm thinking of canning some.

The best time to fertilize new fruit trees is in spring, starting after bud-break and finishing by July. This provides nutrients when trees need them most. More details can be found here:http://www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/fertilize-new-fruit-trees

Hi Georgina, Thank you for your question. The Pink Cascade Weeping Peach tree is deciduous.

The leaves on this weeping peach are a glossy green exactly like the leaves on the fruiting varieties of peach trees. Except for the pendulous weeping branches....the tree looks just like any other peach tree, dense leafy bright green.

Hi Robert. We don't, but it's easy enough to do. You can espalier practically any fruit tree. The dwarf size is the easiest to espalier.

Bees like virtually all flowers except artemisia, mint, eucalyptus and a few others.
