Contender Peach Tree
Contender peach, a cold tolerant variety, provides a crop of big yellow fruit just when other peach trees are slowing down. The skin is a red-orange color while the flesh is sweet and yellow. Tolerant of late-spring frost, Contender's a good choice in growing zones where other peaches falter. Growing well in hardy zones 4-8, it is self-pollinating, but adding another pollinator nearby may increase the size of your crop. Pollinate with Contender, Elberta or Red Haven peach trees. Mature height & width is 10-15'. Our peach trees are 3 year trees that our sold in 5 gallon lines and are approximately 4' tall and have a trunk of approximately 1". Because fruit trees often require cross pollination, we offer our five gallon size fruit trees at a "buy two trees and get an additional 15% off" for customers enrolled in our rewards program (excluding fruit bearing cherry trees).
