The Double Jewel Peach (Prunus persica 'Double Jewel') is an exceptional dual-purpose deciduous tree, highly celebrated for both its breathtaking ornamental beauty and its abundant harvest of delicious fruit.

Best Uses: Fresh eating, summer salads, baking & desserts, preserving & jams, drinks & smoothies.
