Bounty Peach Tree Self Pollinating Live Fruit Plant - 2 ft

In this review the Bounty Peach Tree is evaluated as a backyard fruit tree for gardeners who want an easy-to-establish, flavorful peach with minimal fuss. The bottom line: this live plant arrives ready to plant at about 1 to 2 ft tall and is best for homeowners in USDA zones 4 to 8 who can plant directly in the ground and provide full sun. The review finds the tree especially appealing for those who want a non-browning, freestone heirloom that performs well for canning and freezing and that requires little pollination effort thanks to its self-pollinating nature.

Key Features

• Ready to plant: Shipped 1 to 2 ft tall in a trade gallon with soilless media and arrives double boxed for safe transport, making initial planting straightforward.
• Flavor and use: Bounty is a yellow-fleshed, non-browning heirloom with excellent texture that is well suited to canning and freezing.
• Cold hardiness: Thrives in USDA zones 4 through 8, so it suits a wide temperate range including the mid-Atlantic where it performs particularly well.
• Self-pollinating: Produces fruit on its own but will yield more when planted near another peach variety with a similar bloom time.
• Deciduous habit: As a deciduous tree it will go dormant and lose leaves in winter and leaf out again in spring when planted and sited correctly.
• Transplant guarantee: The seller offers a 30-day successful transplant assurance if planting instructions are followed and the correct location and watering schedule are used.

Who It's For

The Bounty Peach Tree is ideal for home gardeners who have a sunny spot in zones 4-8 and want a reliable, flavorful freestone peach for fresh eating, canning, or freezing. It fits small orchards and larger yards alike when planted directly into the ground, and it is a good choice for gardeners who prefer a self-pollinating variety that still benefits from a nearby peach for larger crops.

Those who should look elsewhere include container gardeners who plan to keep the plant in pots long-term (the trees are shipped to be planted in the ground only) and buyers in California, since orders there are cancelled due to state regulations beyond the seller's control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I plant this tree in a container?
No. The tree is shipped in a trade gallon as a live plant meant to be planted directly in the ground and should not be transplanted into another container.

Will it fruit without another peach nearby?
Yes. Bounty is self-pollinating and will set fruit on its own, though yields are larger if planted near a peach with a similar bloom time.

Can you ship to California?
Orders to California are cancelled due to state regulations beyond the seller's control, so buyers in California should not expect fulfillment.
