There are a number of red leaf peaches on the market - 'Bonfire' is one of the most common. Long, narrow foliage that holds its color well throughout the season. It is a dwarf, seldom getting much above 5-6' and while it does produce peaches, they are not the most appetizing :-) Grown more for its flowers and foliage.

Stock is mislabeled or a red-leaved cultivar being used as rootstock has replaced the 'Redhaven' scion. One such is 'Citation', from a cross between the 'Rutgers Redleaf' peach tree and the 'Red Beaut' plum tree.

I have 2 varieties of fruiting peach, bought last fall, bare root/dormant - 'Reliance' and 'Flat Wonderful'. Both are presently growing red/purple leaves, and both are growing from well above the graft. Whether they will go green as the summer moves on, I don't know. But I bought both on the basis of the description of the fruit, and I will be very upset if they don't bear fruit. Of course, the Japanese beetles may make the whole waiting period moot - they do seem to like peaches! The late frost did in the fruit for this year, despite what I thought was a sheltered spot - there's always next year, I guess.

We just moved to Huntington, WV and have been looking for another purple leaf flowering peach tree like we had in North Carolina. There are very few nurseries in the area and the ones we have been to ask us to call in the fall when they are ordering for the spring to see if they can locate one. If anyone knows how we can get one before then please email.

Hi does this tree produce peaches with purple leaf

It will produce fruit but they are not anything you want to eat.

I have the Same Situation...Get one Fruit tree at The Big Box Store Tagged as “Red Chief Nectarine “.... Foliar it’s Totally Red or Burgandy Color now Has Little Fruits But They Look as Same As Little Peaches nothing close To A Nectarine (I have another 2 Nectarine Trees)....And Also it’s Pretty Tall around 10 to 12 Feet Tall...Don’t Know What Kind of Tree it’s That But I’m sure it’s a Peach (100 % Positive)...Any Help or Guess?....

HU&bunch of numbers, if it has red foliage it is not 'Red Chief'....only the nectarines themselves are red in color. Leaves are a standard green :-) But what it might be is impossible to tell without a photo of the tree and its fruit.
