Contender Peach Tree, # 7

Contender peaches are late-blooming and well-adapted to northern climates, with good cold-hardiness and frost tolerance. This hardy tree produces medium-size yellow fruit with slight red blush. The freestone fruit has a firm, yellow center. Ripens late August to September. The Contender's sweet-peach flavor makes the fruit ideal for eating fresh, baking, making jams, canning, dehydrating and freeze-drying.
