Sprouted from seed from hardy peaches growing in the Ottawa region, these hardy peach trees will produce the same wonderful tasting fruit within 3 to 4 years in the right conditions. Order yours for pick-up at the Seedling Saturday event, or make arrangements to pickup at a time of mutual convenience.

These young, vigorous seedlings are under 6-12″ tall with a strong root system and ready for transplanting in your edible forest garden.

Hardiness Zone: 4
Soil type: Sandy loam and loam, likes plenty or organic material.
Pollination Requirements: self-fertile, but will be more productive with another nearby
Light Requirements: Full sun (8-10 hours per day)
Growth Habits: 10-12ft tall, but can be pruned to preferred size
Fruit info: Complex peach flavour, juicy, slightly smaller than a standard peach. Good for fresh eating and processing.

We want to empower people to grow their own forest gardens and so we are offering food-bearing trees and shrubs at a discounted, affordable rates. We also host the Ottawa Food Forest Exchange Facebook group, a forum for its 1300+ members to swap and trade food forest materials with each other to expand without needing to shell out $$. The proceeds of sales of these trees goes to support Forêt Capitale Forest, a charitable organization situated at the Just Food Community Farm.
