{"product_id":"peach-red-baron-semi-dwarf","title":"Red Baron Peach Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed Baron Peach Tree creates one of the most dramatic spring displays in the edible landscape before following it with a genuinely delicious summer harvest. The branches become covered in vivid double red blossoms—fuller, darker, and more theatrical than typical peach flowers—making the tree look ornamental enough for a prominent garden position. By midsummer, those blooms give way to large yellow freestone peaches with warm red coloring and melting, juicy flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flavor is rich and sweet, equally rewarding fresh from the tree or used for canning, drying, preserves, pies, and cobblers. This combination of spectacle and usefulness makes Red Baron unusually easy to justify in a small yard: it provides the seasonal beauty of a flowering tree without surrendering the pleasure of homegrown fruit. For warm-climate gardeners, it is a particularly memorable way to make an orchard both productive and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Baron needs 250–300 chill hours and grows in USDA zones 7–10. This semi-dwarf tree on Citation rootstock generally ripens from mid-July through the end of July, with timing varying by region and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Baron is self-fruitful and capable of bearing alone. Another compatible peach may increase pollinator activity and support fruit set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRed Baron Peach Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large yellow freestone peach with warm red coloring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Melting, juicy, rich, and sweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, canning, drying, preserves, pies, and cobblers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e mid-July through the end of July, with timing varying by region and season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250–300 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fruitful; another compatible peach may support pollinator activity and fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended companions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-evas-pride-smdwf-tr\"\u003eEva’s Pride Peach\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-midpride-semidwarf-tree\"\u003eMid-Pride Peach\u003c\/a\u003e for a low-chill orchard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Display it where its double red bloom can be enjoyed, and thin fruit to protect branches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Baron originated in the Zaiger Genetics program, where it was selected as both an ornamental-flowering and fruiting peach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit \u0026amp; Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21543590887537,"sku":"FT144","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/RedBaron1.jpg?v=1766094844","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/peach-red-baron-semi-dwarf","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
