Notes

'PF8 Ball peach /' dwarf nectarine (Prunus persica 'PF8 Ball peach /') is a tree for borders, accents, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. This peach is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens early. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant flowers.

Pairs well with Chives, Nasturtium, and Calendula.
