Crimson Rocket Columnar Peach Tree, Five Gallon Container
The Crimson Rocket Columnar Peach is a unique, narrow growing peach ideal for smaller yards, side yards, or any narrow space where pretty pink blooms and luscious ripening peaches are to your fancy. The peaches are dessert quality, yellow with melting flesh with about 80% red blush over yellow. The Crimson Rocket needs about 800 hours chilling, so will perform well in moderate to cold winter areas. Enjoy these peaches for fresh eating, cooking, canning, and for making great tasting jams or jellies. All of our fruit trees are shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden.
Frequently Asked Questions
Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “We plant fruit trees at our homes for the purpose of harvesting the reward of incredibly delicious tree ripened fruit. Why not extend this pleasure from 2-3 weeks to 10 to 12 weeks?” How is that done you ask? Read further…
The homeowner can produce three of four different fruit tree crops in slightly more than the space of one tree. The trees should be planted in a triangle (or box for 4) 24-30 inches apart and at a slight outward angle. The center limbs are pruned so that crossing limbs are removed. Otherwise, normal care is all that is necessary.
Pick a combination of varieties that are similar in growth habit and foliage texture. Varieties can be selected for mild winter areas, traditional fruit growing areas, mountains or deserts. Why not have fruit all summer long?
Apples….red, green and yellow, or early, mid and late season. Apricots...June, July and August ripening. Cherries...early June ripening, mid June ripening and a sweet pollinator. Plums...red meat, purple meat and yellow meat.... I think you get the picture. Just have fun!
