Overwintering a Container-Grown Bonfire Dwarf Flowering Peach in New Hampshire

Must Come Indoors

Zone 5 New Hampshire winters kill containerized trees. Roots freeze in pots. Bring inside (garage, basement, cool room) for winter.

Container Size

Current 2×2 ft pot may be too small long-term. Fruit trees need large containers for root expansion. Upgrade when repotting in spring.

Indoor Care

• Cool (35–45°F), bright light.
• Water sparingly—just enough to prevent desiccation.
• No fertilizer until spring.

Return outdoors after last frost. With protection, this ornamental peach will bloom beautifully each spring.
