Buy Contender Peach online. Contender Peach blooms later than other peach cultivars, and due to this later blooming time, it is less susceptible to frost damage to the flowers. The flower buds themselves are more frost resistant than other cultivars, too! The peaches themselves are freestone, large in size, firm to the touch and are quite tasty!
Family: Rosaceae · Common Name: Cherry/Peach/Plum/Almond/Nectarine/Apricot
