Contender Peach Tree

So, you crave the sweet, juicy goodness of a homegrown Peach that you pick from your own tree in your own backyard, but, you live in a cold climate where it gets below zero in the winter. Fresh Peaches might just be a summer dream for you. Until now!

Finally! A Peach tree that doesn't have to live in the South to survive! The Contender Peach (Prunus persica 'Contender') is the first Peach tree for the home gardener that survives the North's sub-zero temperatures. Just in time for late summer barbecues and back to school, the delicious, juicy fruit ripens and you are ready for all the pies, preserves, freezing and fresh eating healthy goodness!

Contender is an exceptionally hardy tree that reliably produces loads of big, sweet, juicy fruit. It constantly wins flavor taste trials! To top it off, the trees are disease-resistant and self-pollinating. They are sized just right for home gardens, staying smaller and easy to reach, Contender will fit into any garden, large or small!

Planting and Application:

From the big clouds of deliciously fragrant pink blossoms that pollinators adore, to the long wavy green leaves, these tall, upright and narrow trees look pretty as a picture in the landscape! Add one to your front yard to keep a close eye on it from your picture window, or near your back seating area so you can always pluck a juicy peach right off the limbs while relaxing beneath the shade of its limbs!

Prune smaller to add to smaller yards, or established orchards with ease! Keep this tree nearly any size needed for privacy screens and hedgerows. These are fantastic edible ornamentals that will pull double duty in any landscape. So replace that flowering tree with one that develops big globes of fuzzy, juicy yellow-blushed fruit!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
