Flowering Peach - Prunus persica ‘Klara Mayer’

Flowering Peach - Prunus persica 'Klara Mayer'

Few ornamental trees announce spring with the authority of Prunus persica 'Klara Mayer'. Dense, fully double pink blossoms smother the bare branches before a single leaf emerges, a singular seasonal display that anchors feature planting with effortless refinement.

Why Klara Mayer Flowering Peach

Double spring flowering: Profuse rich pink blooms appear on bare wood in late winter to early spring, creating a striking visual event.
Elegant branching structure: A refined, rounded silhouette provides year-round architectural presence beyond the flowering season.
Compact specimen scale: Reaches 4 to 6 metres, proportioned for feature placement without dominating the surrounding landscape.
Purely ornamental: Selected exclusively for floral performance, with no fruiting to manage or clean up.
Proven performer: Reliable and well-adapted to cool to temperate climates across southern Australia.

Ideal Applications

Formal feature planting: Positioned as a standalone specimen on lawn or in a courtyard where the full floral display commands attention.
Avenue and grove planting: Multiple specimens planted in sequence deliver a coordinated spring flowering impact across larger properties.
Residential and estate entries: Provides seasonal drama at arrival points without permanent scale concerns.
Curated ornamental landscapes: Pairs with other late winter and spring-flowering species to extend and layer the seasonal palette.
