Introduced in 1988, Contender Peach Tree quickly became a favorite among northern gardeners. The tree exhibits excellent cold hardiness and tolerance to late-spring frosts. Its fruits are wonderful too. Contender consistently produces high yields of medium-to-large freestone fruits. Blushed with red skins, the fruits have a marvelously melting, sweet and juicy yellow flesh. They're excellent for eating fresh as well as making into jams, baking into pies and desserts as well as canning. Requires 1,000 chill hours. Fruits ripen in mid August. Self-pollinating. Zones 4-8.
