If you’ve been dreaming of homegrown peaches but worry about late spring frosts, the Garden Gold Mini Peach Tree might be your perfect match. This petite yet vigorous variety flowers later than most, making it a smart pick for colder climates where late frosts can damage early blooms.
Despite its extra vigor, Garden Gold stays compact—only 5 to 6 feet tall—making it ideal for small gardens, patios, or container growing. You’ll enjoy juicy, yellow freestone peaches ripening in mid to late summer, and the tree's tidy form makes it as beautiful as it is productive.

Care Tip
Peach trees can be susceptible to peach leaf curl, a common fungal issue. We recommend spraying with Bonide Copper Fungicide (OMRI listed for organic gardening) 3–4 times between December and February.
For strong root development and long-term health, plant with EB Stone Organic Sure Start at time of planting.
