David's peach

Overview

David's peach (Prunus davidiana) is an evergreen shrub native to mountainous areas of China and Japan. Its attractive large, glossy leaves have an elliptical shape and are composed of seven to eleven leaflets. It produces masses of fragrant, single white flowers in late spring. New foliage is red and turns to a deep green over the summer, and when autumn comes, the foliage turns an autumnal copper colour. It is an undemanding shrub and requires relatively little maintenance. An easy to care for garden plant, David's peach is perfect for any level of gardener.
