Contender Peach Tree

Late Frosts No Problem!

(12 customer reviews)

Gurney's Choice For top-quality crops in any region. Excellent cold hardiness and tolerance to late spring frosts makes Contender superb for Northern growers. Marvelously melting, sweet yellow flesh. Extra juicy. Self-pollinating. Ripens in mid-August.

Peaches- members of the big Prunus genus-share similar traits. In addition to bearing sweet, juicy fruit, all of these stone fruits have beautiful springtime blossoms and attractive leaves, making them valuable landscaping trees. (Freestone)

Best performer
Reviewed By: Dawn (Poland, IN)
I planted 4 different peach trees 4 years ago and Contender and Belle of Georgia were the two that performed best. Golden Jubilee and Reliance just haven't done as well in my yard. I am looking to add a half dozen of the two that performed best this Spring. Both trees produced peaches that were juicy, sweet and drenched in that wonderful fresh off the tree taste I recall as a child in NJ. Nothing better than growing your own fruit!
