Description
Semi-Dwarf Contender Peach is a hardy fruit tree perfect for Massachusetts, producing sweet, juicy golden peaches with a scarlet blush. Blooming in mid-spring, it is covered in fragrant pink flowers before its dark green foliage emerges. The peaches ripen in mid-summer and are ideal for fresh eating, baking, preserves, and canning.
In fall, Contender Peach transforms with narrow leaves that turn a vibrant yellow, adding seasonal beauty to the landscape. While the fruit is delicious, it can be messy if left to drop, requiring occasional clean-up. With proper care, this peach tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering a reliable harvest in Massachusetts gardens.
