Create your own Sweet Yellow Peach Bonsai Tree from seed. These Non-GMO Yellow Peach Seeds produce a compact fruit tree variety well suited for containers, patios, balcony gardens, and indoor bonsai culture.
Peach bonsai trees display attractive blossoms in spring, followed by lush green foliage throughout the growing season. With proper training and pruning, they can be shaped into elegant bonsai forms while still maintaining the characteristics of a peach tree. In suitable climates and mature stages, the tree may produce small, sweet yellow peaches.
This is an ideal project for fruit tree hobbyists, bonsai enthusiasts, and gardeners who want a unique decorative plant that offers both beauty and traditional orchard character.
Features
- Compact growth suitable for bonsai and container gardening
- Non-GMO seed selection
- Beautiful spring flower display
- Can be shaped through pruning and wire training
