This cultivar is new, and not much is known about it. It has awesome flowers! Hey small trees are great, you can shape them better!!
Red Baron is also a double flowering tree, a peach. But that one is also a great tasting peach! It is a good one. Hopefully this one will be too!

Drew, it was the flowers that got me. I have a Red Barron in the same "row" that I was thinking of the Atomic. Red Barron can stop traffic on our little street and I think every neighbor wanted to know the name of that tree.

I would like to place in an area that I want to preserve some view from a bench, so I need to keep slightly taller than the rest of the trees. I let Red Barron get a tad taller too so I can better enjoy the bloom from the top of the lot (hillside terraced garden/orchard)

Red Baron is pretty amazing isn't it? I get comments on mine all the time. Its in a sea of blooming fruit trees but people still notice it.

The trees are sometimes smaller on newer varieties because they are one-year old trees and the older varieties are 2-year trees.

I have one, 2nd season; it's a vigorous tree (comparing to Snow Queen planted at the same time) - the fruit is beautiful, red skinned. Yes, it is cling stone. I haven't watered the tree directly, but it is next to a garden bed that gets watered occasionally - I tasted a fruit as it feels ripe on the tree but it wasn't all that sweet (nor acidic) so I will let them hang on the tree another week or so. Last year it had maybe 5 fruit, this year 30 or more. I keep it pruned to about 7'. I am in the San Fernando Valley which has become a heat sink with everything paved over so I imagine little chill hours here. FWIW, I didn't have much luck with Red Baron for some reason, but Tropic Snow - fantastic!!! Gorgeous fruit and superb flavor.

Unbelievable blooms on that thing... wow! WANT!

Here are some pics of my harvest this year (2 yr. old tree about 7' around/tall bush).

They are very sweet! Juicy, melting. I also have a Snow Queen, also ripe. Snow Queen is very sweet and acidic (my favorite flavor), Atomic Red is not so acidic, candy like - everyone loves it. It is a clingstone.
