The Double Red Flowering Peach displays incredibly vivid, distinctive and showy coral-red blossoms quite early, often signaling the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Double Red is extensively planted in the lower states such as California and Texas and due to its early bloom, the vibrant flowers are often used in decorating for Chinese New Year celebrations. The highly fragrant and complex flowers also serve a purpose as they attract pollinators from miles around, which can in turn greatly increase the yield of neighboring fruit trees. The bright and sharply serrated light green leaves of Double Red stun through summer in deep emerald tones before turning yellow for autumn. Double Red Flowering Peach, botanical name Prunus persica Double Red, is suited to USDA zones 6-10 with full sun and reaches a height/spread of 10 ft. to 20 ft. The deep burgundy-green foliage turns yellow with autumn, while blooms are a vivif reddish-coral color. The Double Red Flowering Peach is an excellent compact and vibrant flowering tree with color like no other, that will reliably be 1 the first to bloom every year, marking the change of seasons and the coming of warmer temperatures.
