Flavorful Peaches That Grow Nearly Anywhere

Why Contender Peach Trees?

When it comes to growing peaches, the mark of a winner is the diversity of the areas where they can grow – and the Contender Peach Tree is no exception. With excellent cold hardiness and tolerance to the occasional late spring frosts, it's one of the few peach varieties that will flourish in northern regions.

And in a short time, large velvety peaches will emerge from the Contender's branches like nature's work of art. Plus, this tree’s succulent, ripe peaches delight with each juicy bite. One taste and you'll know why the Contender is considered the most flavorful and fresh peach available. Even better? Unlike other peach varieties, this hardy tree produces a reliably delicious fruit that won't go brown on you before its time.

Beautiful Potted Tree.

This was a last-minute purchase. As I had grown my orchard by 3 new trees, but a peach was not one I had yet. I took a chance and it was a good decision. I was a little scared since it was past the first part of spring, but it was delivered and looked so fresh and healthy. My husband unpacked it as soon as it was delivered, and he said a peach had already been growing and had fallen off during shipping. Dang it. At least I know that it will produce next year for me. Very pleased overall!!

I already sent you a

I already sent you a note praising shipping method and the condition of the Contender Peach Tree received. It is now in the ground without even one leaf turning yellow. I think it likes it in my yard. So far things are great!

Beautiful, hardy peach trees

They arrived in excellent condition and we planted them right after they arrived. After a couple of weeks they continue to be in excellent condition. We water them regularly and cover the trunks to keep them safe from mice and voles chewing on them. We are confident that these trees will be healthy and producing fruit as expected. Keep in mind, this is not our first experience with FastGrowingTrees and like all that we've planted previously we will be very pleased with them. Thank you.
