Prunus persica 'NC Peach-6' PP34261 is commonly referred to as Ruby Ruffle™ Ornamental Patio Peach.

They emerge dark red, transforming to deep burgundy. In fall, gold highlights add to burgundy creating showy fall color.

To help this tree settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in full sun to ensure the best fruit production and foliage color. Peach trees are particularly susceptible to fungal diseases such as leaf curl and brown rot, so prioritize a site with excellent air circulation and avoid low-lying areas where frost or water can collect. Provide deep, consistent water during the first few growing seasons until the tree is well established, and monitor soil moisture thereafter to ensure it remains consistently moist but never waterlogged.
Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant to improve structure, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage productive growth. For peach trees, an open-center or vase-shaped pruning style is highly recommended to maximize light penetration and air movement through the canopy.
