Ultra Dwarf Babcock Peach Tree

[ninnymary]

My new peach tree is looking very nice and healthy. Of course we all know it's a long road from blossoms to fruit and anything can happen.

Pretty I plant one just for the flowers.

Planted outside or potted?

 

[ninnymary]

Smart Red, it's in a large square pot. You can barely see it in the picture. On the other side of the bench is another pot with an ultra dwarf white nectarine.

I got lucky, my husband got these pots for $5 each from his place of work.

I like your little trees Mary! Are they old enough that you get fruit now?

 

[ninnymary]

I'm hoping I'll at least get to taste them this year. I bought them last year.

That tree looks great! Is it self-pollinating?

The nectarine looks like it is going to flower a lot later.

Mary next to lime chair is that a cement fountain base?

 

[ninnymary]

It is a Snow Queen nectarine that is just starting to flowers. Both trees are self fertile and bloom about 2 weeks apart.

The fountain base is made of resin and was being thrown away which I rescued. That is now our strawberry bed.

Nice rescue I have been looking for one about 2 years. I got the fountain top at flea market for $35.
