Description

A favorite in our gardens and a real head turner, the Corinthian Flowering Peach is a spectacular deciduous flowering tree that becomes covered in fragrant bright pink double blossoms in spring that are followed the emergence of deep burgundy leaves that gradually turn to reddish-green by summer and finally to golden-yellow in fall. The tree grows in an upright columnar form to 25 feet tall and only 8 to 10 feet wide, which makes it ideal for use as a street tree or where space is limited. No edible fruit on this one.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 20 to 25 tall and only 8 to 10 feet tall, the columnar form makes the Corinthian Flowering Peach ideal for use where space is limited or as a street tree. Also excellent for groupings of 3 or more or to plant in rows along driveways and property lines. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens, and cottage gardens.

Growing Preferences

The Corinthian Flowering Peach is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to light shade. Moderate drought tolerance when established. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. No pruning is necessary however responds well to it for size control and shaping purposes.

Plant Long & Prosper!

The Corinthian Pink Peach tree was actually MUCH nicer than expected. Have browsed the Wilson Brothers site occasionally but never purchased from them before. I saw this tree—fairly mature, at the JC Raulston Arboretum. So gorgeous I started looking for it online and found it (even though the arboretum staff said it was probably very limited production and might possibly be available in TN). Not only did I find it at Wilson Brothers, it is about seven feet tall and gorgeous. Quickly and securely shipped. Couldn’t be happier!——————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
