The Crimson Rocket Peach (Prunus persica 'KV930455') is a unique, columnar fruit tree highly prized for its space-saving vertical growth habit. It grows straight up like a rocket, making it ideal for tight spaces, patio pots, balconies, or high-density backyard orchards. It is entirely self-fertile (self-pollinating), meaning you only need to plant one single tree to get a full harvest of fruit.
Fruit Colour: Skin with a heavy crimson-red blush over an orange-yellow background
Fruit Shape: Distinctly round to slightly oval in shape.
Fruit Size: Produces medium-to-large, round freestone peaches.
Flavour: Firm, juicy yellow flesh, that is sweet, rich, and aromatic with a slight, pleasant touch of tartness.
Fruit Season: Late March (early autumn in Australia).
Cropping Habit: Heavy. It has a highly productive habit
Best Uses: It is excellent for fresh eating, baking, cooking, or making jams.
Light requirement: Full sun
Water requirement: Moderate-to-high water requirement
Watering frequency: Regular watering, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.
