True Root Nursery
Potted Siberian C Peach Seedling
Potted Siberian C Peach Seedling
Available only for pick-up at nursery.
Species: Prunus persica
History: These seedlings are grown from peach seeds collected from mother trees growing in Ontario.
Why We Grow It: Peach seedlings tend to stay fairly true to type so odds are you're going to get a pretty solid peach tree once they mature and it is hoped that growing them from seed here will make them a littler hardier! For those who prefer the certainty that comes with getting a named variety, these trees would also be great for grafting as rootstock, feeding wildlife, or planting along a fence line.
We have seedlings of the following varieties:
- Bailey - primarily used for rootstock, see our Peach Rootstock product page here for more information
- Coralstar - a hardy peach from the Fruit Acres Stellar Peach Breeding Program that is great for fresh eating and canning
- Redhaven - released from Michigan State University in the 1940s, Redhaven has remained one of the most popular peach varieties in the world due to its excellent flavour and attractive red skin. See our Redhaven product page here for more information
- Siberian C - originally from the Gobi desert, Siberian C peaches are quite cold hardy and can be used for rootstock or eaten fresh
- Tzim Pee Tao - likely originating in China, Tzim Pee Tao is primarily used as a cold hardy peach rootstock
