Try an Eldorado Miniature Peach Tree, a well known Jackson and Perkins variety, and you will have a tree producing exceptionally high quality, rich flavored fruit. These great tasting peaches are yellow freestone, with an attractive red-blushed skin. Harvest early to Mid June. The Eldorado is a dwarf variety, only growing to about 4 to 5 feet, so a great choice for those in urban locations in a large container on back porch or patio. 500 hours chilling. Self fertile. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden. New planting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “Plant 3 or 4 trees in the space of 1. Fruit trees are planted 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?

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!
