Flordacrest Peach Tree

Sweet & Juicy Flordacrest Peaches Grown Right in Your Backyard! A Low-Maintenance Fruit Tree Choice That’s Disease-Resistant & Hardy Created by the University of Florida, the Flordacrest Peach Tree is renowned for its amazingly tasty fruit and ability to be grown easily within the Southern United States. This low-maintenance fruit tree is great for backyard orchards or even container planting! The Florida peach tree produces delicious red-skinned and yellow-fleshed fruit that ripens in mid-May and requires 350 chill hours. The Florida Crest will flower beginning in February and should be fertile in early spring for best results. This peach variety is semi-clingstone meaning its yellow flesh will grip the fruit’s pit even while eating. These fleshed peach stone fruits have a long shelf life and are relatively disease-resistant. The cross-pollination from this tree is excellent for other peaches, plum, and nectarine trees. Fun fact: peaches and nectarines are the same species
