- Summary
- Hardiness Zone & More
Crimson Rocket peach ripens in early to mid-August. The fruit is meadium large and firm with excellent color. Crimson Rocket is known for its very upright habit, making it very suitable for small locations.
Developed by Dr. Ralph Scorza at the USDA Station in Kearneysville, West Virginia. New during Spring 2005.
Almost all peaches are self-fertile and require no pollinators. They will set heavy crops on single trees, which need heavy and aggressive thinning early in the season for best fruit size. Maintain good vigor in peaches by pruning every year, and fertilizing moderately. Aim for 1-3 feet of new growth a year. Fertilize early in the season, so that growth is well hardened off before fall and winter cold weather.
