Peach Tree – Live Tree in a 3 Gallon Pot – Prunus Persica ‘Florida Prince’ – Edible Fruit Bearing Tree for Gardens and Patios

The Florida Prince Peach tree produces beautiful aromatic fruit. The skin has a wonderful red blush with faint red stripes that covers most of the skin with a background splash of yellow/orange. The flesh is golden and semi-freestone. The fruit is a bit smaller than your typical grocery store peach. The Florida Prince Peach is a small but fast growing tree which can reach up to 15ft in height. The tree does best with rich-loamy, slightly acidic, well draining soil. The more organic composted soil you use the better. The typical alkaline native California and Florida soil will result in numerous micronutrient deficiencies such as iron and zinc. This is an ideal peach for mild winter areas. It only requires 150 chill hours (total hours per winter below 45 degrees). I have read that the tree will be injured in the dry desert heat. Peaches need regular deep watering. Aggressive mulching helps retain soil moisture. However, when mulching any tree, leave a few inches of space at the base of the trunk free from much.
