Honey Babe Peach Tree

(Question)

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a honey babe peach tree for our property. I wanted to ask if this type of tree will do well in Etobicoke, and also is you have any leads on where to purchase one? I tried Sheridan Nurseries, but had no luck.
Thank you for your help,

It appears that a Honey Babe miniature peach tree (Prunus persica ‘Honey babe’) may not be the most suitable dwarf peach tree to grow in Etobicoke. I have found it listed as hardy to USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6-9 which is approximately equivalent to Canada Plant Hardiness Zones 7-10. Here is a link to a map showing the plant hardiness zones of Canada:

We do not provide names or places to buy specific plants. To find a local grower who can advise you on planting a dwarf peach tree that would be hardy in your area, you can contact Landscape Ontario through this link:

I’m including a link to an OMAFRA publication on Fruit Trees in the Home Garden:
