Description Red Baron peach is one of the most dramatic flowering peaches you can grow—delivering a stunning display of deep red, double blossoms in early spring followed by a harvest of flavorful yellow peaches later in the season. It’s a rare tree that successfully combines ornamental beauty with real fruit production. The flowers are the first thing most growers notice. Large, layered blossoms cover the tree in vivid rose-red color, creating a spring display normally associated with ornamental flowering peaches. Once pollinated, those blooms give way to medium-sized peaches that ripen mid-season. Red Baron is well suited to edible landscapes where both beauty and harvest matter. Grafted onto Nemaguard rootstock, the tree grows with semi-dwarf vigor while maintaining strong resilience and productivity. Overview Spectacular deep red double blossoms.
