Peach Malenkii Prints

The 'Little Prince' peach is a decorative columnar tree with a compact pyramidal crown, reaching a height of about 180-200 cm and a diameter of up to 60 cm. The tree grows slowly, has a rounded crown shape, and maroon-green shoots of medium thickness. It blooms very profusely and early, starting in the second half of March; the flowers are semi-double, rose-shaped, with a pleasant aroma and a diameter of 37-40 mm, adding decorative appeal to the garden. The variety is characterized by high resistance to powdery mildew and leaf curl, as well as good winter hardiness, especially in southern regions.

The 'Little Prince' fruits are large, spherical, weighing up to 200-300 grams, with velvety red skin and a bright pink blush. The flesh is juicy, aromatic, fibrous, yellow in color, with a delicate, balanced sweet-and-sour taste. The ripening period is average—from the first decade of August, which allows for a stable and high yield of up to 8-10 kg per tree. The fruits are versatile: they can be eaten fresh, used in baking, and preserved. Thanks to their good storability and transportability, they are suitable for long-term storage and transport.

For successful cultivation, it is recommended to plant trees in sunny areas with fertile, light soil and moderate watering. Planting is best done in spring before bud break or in autumn. Regular spring pruning and autumn rejuvenation help maintain the shape and fruiting. Soil mulching helps retain moisture. The variety is self-fertile, which eases care and increases yield stability. Thanks to the combination of decorative qualities, high yield, and disease resistance, 'Little Prince' is an excellent choice for gardeners who value compact and attractive fruit trees.
