In a Nutshell:
* David's peach is a deciduous flowering tree that typically grows to 20-30' tall with a rounded habit. It is sometimes ornamentally grown for its showy bloom of single, five-petaled, whitish flowers (to 1" diameter). Flowers appear before the leaves in late winter to early spring (March in St. Louis but often earlier in climates with milder winters). more...
* 1" white or light pink flowers, very early, before the leaves emerge, 2-5" leaves, small, apricotl-ike fruit to 1 1/2", fuzzy and dryish, hardy. more...
* The seed is used in China as a flavouring in confectionery and some special dishes. They are somewhat bitter due to the presence of prussic acid so should be used in strict moderation. more...
