Ruby Prince Peach – #7 Container 5-6 Feet

Description

Beautiful fruit tree royalty, the Ruby Prince Peach Tree (Prunus persica ‘Ruby Prince’) is one of the first peach fruits on the scene each summer with fuzzy gems of scarlet blushed fruit!

Self-fertile pink blossoms cover your tree in spring as the rest of the tree fills out in deep green foliage all summer and fall. The green backdrop really shows off the fuzzy golden-yellow fruit with a predominant red blush. You’ll enjoy a large harvest each year with very little work!

The succulent yellow flesh is sweet and juicy, ripening as early as June, you’ll enjoy delectable peaches for all your fresh eating, baking, canning, and barbecue desserts! Plant with a later ripening Peach tree to extend your harvest of fruit all summer!

Planting and Application:

Gorgeous flowering trees on their own, Ruby Prince can take the place of that flowering ornamental tree for front yard landscapes as well as that shade tree cooling your backyard seating and garden beds! Why shouldn’t you expect double duty from your landscaping?

Create a privacy or screening hedgerow by planting close together and keeping the lower limbs intact, or prune them smaller for a tidy specimen focal point that turns heads and slows down traffic all growing season! Prune to 8-10 feet tall to tuck into an existing orchard or smaller property with ease! Or try something unique and train Ruby Prince as Espalier!

Peach Tree Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Ruby Prince Peach Trees to bear fruit?

Nature Hills Nursery sells fruit trees with mature root systems that are already three to four years old, so you’ll enjoy fruit sooner than you would with younger trees! Expect a young peach tree to begin fruiting by the 3rd year after you plant it.

How Fast Do Ruby Prince Peach Trees Grow?

Be sure to plant your peach in a sunny and well-drained location. Once your Ruby Prince (Prunus persica ‘Rubyprince’) has been established (after the first year), it can typically add 12-18 inches of new growth in a growing season. If your plants are adding less than that in a season, it may be worth your while to check the fertility level.

Where do Ruby Prince Peach Trees Grow Best?

Peach trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more.

Do You Need 2 Peach Trees to Produce Fruit?

All peach trees are self-fertile, however planting more than one peach tree that blooms at about the same time, boosts yields on both trees and extends your harvest time!

Harvest Times for Ruby Prince Peach Trees

Ruby Princes are typically ready to harvest in June. Keep in mind exact harvest times are subject to change depending on the hardiness zones they’re being grown in.

Early-Season? Mid-Season? Late-Season? The terminology can be confusing for new peach tree growers. Weather, climate and your tree determine when it’s ripe.

When Should Ruby Prince Peach Tree be Planted?

Bareroot peach trees can be planted in spring when they are available in your area. Container-grown peach trees can be very successfully transplanted all throughout the growing season. Check for first and last frost dates for your area with your local County Extension Office.

• Plant bareroot peach trees in the early spring.
• Plant container-grown trees anytime the ground is not frozen by digging a hole as deep as the soil line and twice as wide.
