Corinthian Pink Peach is a fast-growing deciduous tree with upward branches primarily grown for its flowers and shiny serrated reddish-green foliage. The profuse fragrant pink double flowers bloom in spring before the foliage emerges, attracting butterflies. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Takes pruning well to maintain size.
