Hi Wendy,
I'me sure there would be some fruit trees with pink flowers - peach and nectarine trees are frequently pink, many are tinged pink like apple/crabaple blossom.

Yes peaches and nectarines both have lovely pink flowers, the dwarf peach puts on a beautiful show each spring. If you have room for a climber the fragrant and giant grandillas passionfruits have the most gorgeous flowers which are heavily scented with a heady spicy perfume, although these are better suited to warmer climates.

Hi there,

I know ornamental cherries have pink flowers, but can you get fruiting cherry trees with pink blossoms?
Does anyone know?

Are these peaches and nectarines ornamental or edible? I already have nectarines, but I'm sure they have a white flower. Could you please tell me the names of them if they are edible. Thankyou
Wendy

The nectarine I have in my orchard in and the picture above is a Sunraycer, this is a low chill variety and is not suitable for the Victorian climate because it breaks bud and fruits too early in the season for southern climates. My tree is already covered in tiny fruits in mid to late August, I will be eating these in October.
Nectarine - Necta Red
Peach - Dwarf Valley Red
Angel Peach - High Chill
are suitable species for your Victorian climate Wendy.

Thankyou Kath.
I had a closer look at the Nectarine trees that I have and it looks like they are pink after all, I have been here five years, you would think I would know the color of the flowers! oh well we all make mistakes. I might try the Dwarf Vally Red Peach as it sounds nice and I only have Nectarines.
