Contender peach trees are cold hardy and tolerant of sub-zero temperatures. Excellent for northern gardens. Beautiful masses of pink flowers in the spring are followed by free-stone, red-blushed yellow fruits that ripen in late summer. Bright yellow flesh is firm, sweet and juicy. Excellent for eating, baking and canning. Self pollinating, however a pollinator in close proximity may result in a larger crop.
