The Contender peach tree is a popular, cold-hardy, and disease-resistant variety that is perfect for northern orchards (1050 cold hours). It consistently yields large crops of sweet, juicy medium-to-large fruit. The yellow flesh is perfect for eating fresh, canning, or freezing. Contender peaches are known for their excellent flavor and aroma. They are freestone peaches, meaning the flesh separates easily from the pit. The tree blooms with an abundance of showy pink blossoms in the spring.

Fruit Size: Medium to large (3 inches in diameter)
Fruit Shape: Round to slightly oval
Fruit Taste: Sweet and juicy
Fruit Color: Yellow with red blush
Fruit Maturity Time: Late August to early September (mid-season)
Flowering Time: Early spring (mid-season)
Cold Hours: 800-1200

Pollination:
The Contender peach tree is self-pollinating, but cross-pollinating with another peach tree variety can improve fruit production. See our Pollination page for more information on cross-pollination varieties and requirements!
