Prunus Fruit Snacks® Sweet Sensation

Compact Beauty. Big Flavor. Four-Season Appeal.

Don’t let limited space keep you from growing your own peaches! The Sweet Sensation™ Columnar Peach Tree is the perfect solution for small gardens, patios, or urban yards. With its naturally narrow, upright form, this tree fits beautifully into tight spaces—no pruning gymnastics required.

In spring, enjoy a dazzling display of pink blossoms that rival ornamental cherries. As the season progresses, the tree transforms into a fruit-laden showpiece, bearing large, red-blushed yellow peaches that are as stunning as they are delicious.

These nearly fuzz-free fruits boast juicy, yellow flesh with a sweet, balanced flavor that’s both kid-approved and gourmet-worthy. The freestone pit makes prep a breeze—ideal for pies, cobblers, crisps, or simply slicing and grilling. Freeze extras for a burst of summer sunshine in the colder months.

  • 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

Best of all, Sweet Sensation is self-fruitful, so you only need one tree to enjoy a harvest. But for an even bigger bounty, consider planting a second columnar peach or nectarine nearby.

Whether you're a foodie, a gardener, or just someone who loves beautiful, productive plants, Sweet Sensation™ is a must-have addition to your edible landscape.
