#ProPlantTips For Care

Requiring full sun for the most fruit and healthiest tree, provide Golden Jubliee at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Hardy in USDA growing zones 5 through 8, the later bloom time means not losing your flowers to a late frost.

This tree is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, including cold climates. Although this is a self-pollinating peach, we do recommend growing two of them or adding another peach. You'll get larger crops with partner plants!

Choose a site with slightly acidic soil, with a sandy-loam medium. Be sure to provide fertile, rich soil that is well-drained. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

It is easy to maintain this tree much smaller if needed, so any sized yard can now accommodate a Peach tree! Prune to keep an open canopy for sunlight and airflow to reach the interior of the tree. Read more in our Garden Blog on Peach Tree Care!

Water consistently, especially when in pots or containers, and maintain an average, consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Fruiting trees, shrubs and plants all benefit from Nature Hills Root Booster while planting, for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.

They are not affected by the bad weather that can disrupt the fruit-set of other varieties. Even in the years of good weather, the Golden Jubilee's heavy fruit set is complemented by its self-thinning properties, so fruit size is always good with very little extra effort.

This tree's lineage originated in New Jersey, the oldest peach-growing region of the United States. Peaches have been grown commercially in New Jersey for over three centuries, starting in the 1600s. In 1926, the Golden Jubilee Peach was developed.

This new variety was derived from an Elberta seedling crossed with a selection called Greensboro. The peach was awarded the name Golden Jubilee in honor of the 50th anniversary of the New Jersey State Home Horticultural Society.
