Lilleland Peach

The Lilleland Peach Tree (Prunus persica 'Lilleland') is one of the finest canning peaches and has incredible flavor and color! Fuzzy bright-yellow flesh and skin with some red coloration and streaking, the firm flesh holds amazingly suited for processing and canning!

Starting off with showy pink blossoms in spring, this late-season peach develops small to medium-sized, perfectly round fruit that’s as beautiful as it is flavorful!

Upright, vigorously growing form and glossy green foliage, it’s highly ornamental and perfect for dual-purpose landscaping or home orchard!

How to Use Lilleland Peach In The Landscape

Rich and flavorful, this is a fantastic Peach for preserving, canning, jams, and jellies. Firm flesh and small pits won’t leave pit fragments, keeping the buttery yellow color, free from red stains.

Self-pollinating, however, for a much larger yield per tree, it’s recommended to plant with another Lilleland or Peach cultivar to boost your crops! Try planting in groups or in a hedgerow that’s pruned to size for great privacy, screening, property definition and ease of harvest!

A fantastic ornamental flowering tree, with the bonus of healthy fruit, Lilleland adorns your landscape with a beautiful flower display and fuzzy yellow gems in autumn. The spreading growth habit provides amazing shade all summer!

#ProPlantTips For Care

Peaches grow best in full sun, at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. These are best in USDA growing zones 6-9!

While not particular on type, these do best in enriched, highly organic, well-draining soil. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

Water regularly throughout the growing season. While somewhat drought tolerant once established, it’s best to protect your investment with a regular watering schedule. Keep young trees especially well-watered and do not allow them to dry out.

Situate in an area that is protected from frost pockets and with good air circulation. Prune to keep an open canopy so that both sunlight and airflow reach the interior.

Peach Tree Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Lilleland Peach Trees to bear fruit?

Nature Hills Nursery sells fruit trees with mature root systems that are already three to four years old, so you’ll enjoy fruit sooner than you would with younger trees! Expect a young peach tree to begin fruiting by the 3rd year after you plant it.

How Fast Do Lilleland Peach Trees Grow?

Be sure to plant your peach in a sunny and well-drained location. Once your Lilleland (Prunus persica 'Lilleland') has been established (after the first year), it can typically add 12-18 inches of new growth in a growing season. If your plants are adding less than that in a season, it may be worth your while to check the fertility level.

Where do Lilleland Peach Trees Grow Best?

Peach trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more.

Do You Need 2 Peach Trees to Produce Fruit?

All peach trees are self-fertile, however planting more than one peach tree that blooms at about the same time, boosts yields on both trees and extends your harvest time!

Harvest Times for Lilleland Peach Trees

Lillelands are typically ready to harvest in late August to September. Keep in mind exact harvest times are subject to change depending on the hardiness zones they’re being grown in.

Early-Season? Mid-Season? Late-Season? The terminology can be confusing for new peach tree growers. Weather, climate and your tree determine when it’s ripe.

When Should Lilleland Peach Tree be Planted?

Bareroot peach trees can be planted in spring when they are available in your area. Container-grown peach trees can be very successfully transplanted all throughout the growing season. Check for first and last frost dates for your area with your local County Extension Office.

• Plant bareroot peach trees in the early spring.
• Plant container-grown trees anytime the ground is not frozen by digging a hole as deep as the soil line and twice as wide.
