Succulent cold-hardy peach, the Bailey Hardy Peach Tree (Prunus 'Bailey Hardy Peach') was developed by the University of Minnesota and selected for its exceptional fruiting and hardiness! Starting with scented pink blooms, this dwarf-sized tree is self-fruitful, attracting loads of pollinators to arrive and sip nectar and pollinate your blooms!
The fruit is of good size, has excellent color, and have amazing eating quality! Bailey Peach produces amazing peaches that are sweet and juicy with refreshing flavor! Use the delicious peaches as fresh-picked fruit and snacks, in pies, peach cobbler, canning, jams, jellies, sauces, salads, and so much more!
These semi-freestone fruits are ripe around mid-August depending on your growing zone. Growing 15-20 feet in height and slimmer in width, this smaller tree is ideal for any sized landscape! Great if you live in a colder climate and want to enjoy peaches in the comfort of your backyard, the Bailey Hardy Peach is the peach to grow throughout USDA growing zones 5 to 8.
Planting and Application:
The Bailey Hardy Peach Tree is a gorgeous dual-purpose edible ornamental! Not just working in any sunny landscape, smaller urban lots and courtyards will be enough to accommodate these smaller Peach trees! Cast shade over small gardens and seating areas during the summer months and watch your harvest ripen!
While self-fruitful, planting your Peach with others that bloom at the same time increases pollination for all trees involved! You'll attract loads of bees and other pollinators that buzz about! Situate a wildflower garden and Victory garden nearby as well! Win-win!
Go ahead and make the neighbor's mouths water by planting Bailey Hardy Peach right in a sunny spot in your front yard! The spring flowers add to your home's curb appeal, the rounded canopy shines all summer, and the fuzzy orbs will turn heads as they ripen at peak summer barbecue season! Cool off around the pool or around the firepit with a fresh, still warm from the sun, refreshing peach!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
So easy to grow, Peach trees just need a few things to keep them happy! All fruit trees need full sun for the most blooms and therefore the most fruit! Choose a location in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, in a location with good air circulation, and away from low-lying areas that may accumulate cold spring air. You will also want to choose a location in well-drained soil that is enriched, and topped with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch to keep the roots insulated and help retain moisture more efficiently.
Water new trees regularly and do not let them dry out! Once established, keep moisture available throughout the growing season and do not let trees go through drought. Fertilize each spring with a quality fruit tree formula.
Train new Peach trees in a way to encourage open canopies and ensure the stems are angling outwards, remove crossing branches, and to encourage a straight, clean, sturdy trunk. Prune peach trees in the very early spring to control size, but you can remove suckers, and water growth, and prune to open the interior to air and sun any time.
