Purple leaf peaches have often been used as peach
rootstocks, because it makes it easy for nurserymen to spot failed buds and cull
the purple plants. A friend has purple leaf peach trees that she
grew from seed that probably came originally from the nurseries in the nearby
nursery town of McMinnville.
There are also dwarf purple leaf
peaches sold as ornamentals, the seeds tend to come true. I noticed a
purple leaf peach coming up in the garden this week, seems like my friend has
given me seedlings but I didn't plant one there, so who knows where it came
from.
Purple leaf peaches have been
discussed on this group before, if you want to look back in time. Maybe 2
years ago. Donna
