Empress Dwarf Peach is a true dwarf deciduous tree primarily grown for its fruit.  Showy blooms of fragrant pink flowers bloom in spring attracting butterflies. The large, sweet clingstone peaches have yellow flesh and bright red flushed skin that ripens in July.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Empress is a self pollinator but sets fruit better with another cultivar.  Has to be staked to support fruit weight.
