Description
Ruby Ruffle Peach is a dwarf fruiting deciduous tree that is grown for its attractive foliage as well as its delicious fruits. Its dense clusters of fragrant ruby pink flowers bloom in abundance on bare branches and are followed by large burgundy foliage with unique wavy margins. The large, sweet fruits ripen to orange-yellow by late summer. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Ruby Ruffle is self-pollinating and resistant to peach leaf curl.
