Contender Peach Tree

The Contender peach (Prunus persica 'Contender') is a hardy, cold-tolerant fruit tree that produces large, juicy peaches with a sweet, slightly tangy flavor and vibrant yellow-orange skin with a red blush. This variety is known for its ability to withstand colder climates, making it a great choice for northern regions where other peach trees might not thrive. Contender peaches are perfect for fresh eating, canning, and baking. The tree prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is self-pollinating, although planting near other peach varieties can help improve yields. Regular watering, pruning, and protection from pests and diseases will help ensure a healthy, productive tree.
