Contender Peach Tree produces sweet, juicy fruit perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserving. Flowers appear in early spring, adding welcome seasonal color to the landscape. At maturity it reaches 15 to 20 feet tall with a 8 to 10 feet spread, so give it room to develop its full canopy. Plant in full sun for the best results. It thrives in zones 4 through 8. Expect visits from pollinators, butterflies, and birds throughout the growing season.
