It is sometimes ornamentally grown for its showy bloom of single, five-petaled, whitish flowers. Flowers appear before the leaves in early spring. Flowers are followed by globose, furry, yellow fruits that are tasteless, dry and for all practical purposes inedible. Each fruit has one large seed. Upright branches are clad with slender, lanceolate, sharp-toothed, dark green leaves which are pale green beneath with reddish veins. This tree has excellent winter hardiness and is sometimes used as a rootstock for edible peaches (Prunus persica). David's peach is native to China. Genus name is the old Latin name the European flowering plum. Specific epithet honors Jean Pierre Armand David (1826-1900), French Jesuit missionary and naturalist, who collected this plant in China and introduced it into France in 1865. Winter hardy to USDA Zone 4 where it may be grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained, acidic loams in full sun to light shade. Best flowering is in full sun. Foliage appreciates some part afternoon shade in the hot summers of the deep South. Avoid heavy clays and poorly drained wet soils. Prune if needed immediately after flowering. Ornamental flowering tree. Best sited in sunny areas of the landscape where the flowers can be seen and appreciated at the time of bloom. Trees are otherwise neither distinctive nor showy after bloom. This species is not commonly available in commerce. Info Source: missouribotanicalgarden.org Extra seeds The seeds are hand-selected.
