Flame Prince Peach

Prunus persica 'Flameprince'

Flame Prince Peach is a compact fruiting deciduous tree with rounded crown and a mid season harvest of freestone peaches.  Profuse blooms of fragrant pink flowers coat the branches in spring attracting butterflies.  The red flushed yellow peaches have melting yellow flesh with a juicy tangy-sweet taste that can be eaten fresh.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Flame Prince is self pollinating, bacteria resistant, and requires 850 chill hours.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  High Maintenance. Needs regular watering.  Peaches have a lot of pest and disease issues and need regular spraying to ensure good crop.  Potential pests include tree borer, fruit moth, root nematodes, and aphids.   Late spring frosts can severely damage flower buds.  Fallen fruit can be messy if not harvested.
