We partner with Dave Wilson Nursery to offer you the finest quality and best assortment of fruit trees in the business. Trees are small enough to be portable and affordable, and big enough to begin producing fruit soon after they are established in garden, orchard or home landscape. Our fruit trees are grown in #7 containers, a size that’s ideal for garden center sales. Climate zone recommendations for each variety are general guidelines – best used in conjunction with advice from experts at your local independent garden center, university/county extension service, master gardener organization, botanical garden or horticultural society. Please note that local weather and growing conditions including soil types, pH, elevation, frost-free days, microclimates and other variables should be considered when choosing fruit trees for your home orchard or landscape. After all, what can be fresher – and more local – than juicy, nutritious fruit plucked from one’s own trees? Specialty rootstocks including dwarf and semi-dwarf types assure that trees will have good disease resistance and anchorage, and won’t overgrow the confines of an urban garden. But if you’re looking for, IMO, a cool little container tree that you can protect and actually get peaches from each year, I’d recommend trying some out.Fruit trees are the perfect answer for health-conscious gardeners who wish to eat fresh, healthy and local. If you’re looking for the best tasting or highest yielding peaches then the genetic dwarfs are not going to be the best option. I would check out the thread mamuang posted above. I even ordered a few of the new Zaiger dwarfs from Bay Laurel last Fall. IMO, the best tasting fruit for our climate are the ones that produce regularly. While the taste might not be as good as the non-genetic dwarfs, I was extremely thankful to have any peaches this year from my Pix Zee in that I was able to move it into the garage during our spring frosts - it tasted great to me. I have a Pix Zee miniature peach in a container, mainly because it think the genetic dwarfs look cool and are manageable when to comes to frost protection. Is there a reason you want a container peach vs in ground? I believe you’re in Colorado, like myself and a few others. Hey I think some more context is going to be able to help steer you in the right direction.
