Peach, Florida King
Prunus persica 'Florida King'

Florida King Peach is an early-season variety that's specially bred to thrive in hot, humid climates, making it perfect for southern growers. Known for its large, firm, yellow-fleshed fruit with a sweet and mildly tart flavor, Florida King ripens in late spring, delivering one of the earliest harvests of the year. Its fruit is juicy and versatile, ideal for fresh eating, canning, and baking. Florida King is self-pollinating and produces beautiful pink blossoms in early spring, adding a burst of color to your garden or orchard before the fruit sets. It's well-adapted to areas with short chill periods, making it a reliable producer even in warm regions.

Key Characteristics

  • Early Harvest for a Quick Start to Peach Season
    Florida King ripens in May, providing a harvest of juicy peaches when many other varieties are still developing. Its early fruiting makes it ideal for those looking to enjoy fresh peaches at the beginning of the summer season.

  • Heat-Tolerant and Adaptable to Low Chill Hours
    Florida King is designed for regions with short winters, needing only 450 chill hours to produce a healthy crop. It's highly adaptable to hot, humid climates, making it a reliable producer in the southern United States where other varieties may struggle.

  • Large, Sweet Peaches with Versatile Uses
    Florida King produces large peaches with smooth, yellow skin and a red blush. The firm, juicy flesh has a sweet-tart flavor that's perfect for fresh eating or adding to recipes like pies, cobblers, and preserves. Its excellent texture also makes it ideal for canning.

  • Self-Pollinating and Easy to Grow
    As a self-pollinating variety, Florida King doesn't need a second tree for fruit production, which makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or those new to growing fruit trees. It reliably produces a heavy crop of peaches each year.

  • Ornamental Pink Blossoms in Spring
    In early spring, Florida King Peach trees are adorned with fragrant pink blossoms that attract bees and other pollinators. These blooms add beauty to the landscape while providing a crucial food source for early-season pollinators.
