Alboplena Peach - Prunus persica 'Alboplena'

Alboplena Peach - Prunus persica 'Alboplena'

Few ornamental trees match the early spring spectacle of Prunus persica 'Alboplena', its branches smothered in dense, fully double white blossoms before a single leaf emerges. A refined, deciduous specimen that delivers seasonal drama with architectural composure.

Why Alboplena Peach

Double White Flowering Display: Masses of fully double, snow-white blooms blanket the canopy in early spring, creating one of the most striking seasonal displays available in ornamental stone fruits.
Compact Canopy, High Impact: Reaching 3–5m at maturity, this is a tree that commands attention without dominating a site, well suited to considered, high-detail landscapes.
Deciduous Structure: Clean winter branch structure transitions to full spring bloom, offering multi-season visual interest across the calendar year.
Purely Ornamental: Selected exclusively for floral performance, not fruit production, a deliberate choice for prestige planting where aesthetics are the priority.
Adaptable & Reliable: Performs across a broad range of Australian climate zones with established resilience in full sun conditions.

Ideal Applications

Formal Avenue Planting: Planted in succession along driveways or entry corridors, the uniform flowering creates a powerful, symmetrical seasonal statement.
Specimen Feature Tree: Positioned as a standalone focal point within a curated landscape, where the spring bloom becomes an annual event.
Courtyard & Terrace Settings: Compact form and refined character suit high-end residential courtyards and enclosed urban spaces.
Contemporary & Japanese-Inspired Landscapes: The restrained structure and blossom-forward aesthetic align naturally with minimalist and eastern-influenced design schemes.
