Description

This 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree brings together three of the most reliable and leaf curl–resistant peaches—Frost, Salish Summer (Q-1-8), Indian Free, and Muir—onto one vigorous semi-dwarf tree. With extended bloom periods, staggered ripening times, and exceptional flavor diversity, this multi-graft peach provides a long season of high-quality fruit even in cooler or high-disease-pressure climates.

Frost and Salish Summer (Q-1-8) are especially valued in the Pacific Northwest for their strong resistance to peach leaf curl, one of the region’s biggest challenges. Indian Free contributes brilliant red flesh and exceptional tangy-sweet flavor, while Muir offers old-fashioned sweetness and excellent fresh-eating quality. Together, they make a resilient and flavorful backyard orchard in a single tree.

Grafted onto Lovell rootstock, this tree develops a strong framework, excellent cold-hardiness, and dependable fruiting. All varieties are self-fertile, so no pollination partner is required.

Additional Notes

  • Nerdy fact: Indian Free is one of the few peaches with naturally red flesh—caused not by anthocyanin in the skin, but by pigments developed throughout the entire fruit. Its flavor becomes more complex in cooler climates, making it a cult favorite among fruit collectors.
  • Combination peaches require periodic pruning to prevent one variety from dominating the canopy.
  • All four varieties thrive particularly well in the Pacific Northwest climate.

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

  • Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
  • Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

  • Prefers well-drained loam or sandy loam; avoid clay-heavy or waterlogged soil.

Planting Instructions

  1. Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
  2. Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
  3. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

  • Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
  • Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
  • Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
  • Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

  • Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
  • Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
  • Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

  • Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
  • Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
  • Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
  • Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

  • Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
  • Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
  • Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
