Prunus Fruit Snacks® Blushing Pearl

Compact Beauty. Big Flavor. Four-Season Appeal.

Looking to add beauty and bounty to your garden? The Blushing Pearl Columnar Peach Tree is a dream come true for modern backyard orchards. With its ultra-slim profile and easy-to-maintain height—thanks to simple summer pruning—it’s perfect for small spaces, patios, or even container growing.

But this tree isn’t just about looks. It produces large, luscious peaches with a creamy white flesh and a stunning pink-red blush. Each bite bursts with rich, sugary flavor balanced by just the right touch of tang. One taste, and you’ll be hooked!

Enjoy these peaches fresh off the tree, still warm from the sun, or turn them into mouthwatering pies, preserves, or healthy dried snacks for winter. The fruit holds well on the tree, giving you a longer, more relaxed harvest window.

In spring, the Blushing Pearl puts on a spectacular show with clouds of vibrant pink blossoms, followed by a charming display of ripening fruit and golden fall foliage. It’s a true four-season beauty that doubles as a landscape accent.

Best of all? This self-fruitful variety means you’ll get a generous harvest from just one tree—though planting a pair or mixing in other columnar stone fruits can boost your bounty even more.

  • Highly colored fruit with bright red skin
  • Sweet, juicy, and nearly fuzz-free
  • Freestone for easy prep
  • Lovely pink spring blooms
  • Columnar shape perfect for small spaces
  • Great for fresh eating, baking, or preserving

Adaptable and resilient, the Blushing Pearl thrives wherever peaches grow well, including low-chill regions (500 hours or less)—making it an excellent choice for warmer zones like Zone 10.
