With its yellow flesh, the Contender peach is perfect for fresh eating, canning, or freezing. As a freestone variety (also known as a melting peach), the flesh easily separates from the pit. The tree blooms in spring with an abundance of pink blossoms and is self-pollinating, though adding another pollinator nearby can help boost your harvest.
Contender peaches are non-browning, making them great for fresh snacking or preserving in pies, cobblers, ice cream, and more. They are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, and beta-carotene.
To grow Contender peaches successfully, ensure your tree receives full sun and well-drained soil. Regular pruning and fruit thinning will help produce the best quality fruit. This tree also boasts excellent resistance to bacterial leaf spot and requires 1,000 chill hours during the winter to go dormant and properly set fruit in the spring.
Buy a Contender Peach tree to enjoy growing delicious, cold-hardy, and disease-resistant peaches in your own garden.
