Peach 'Contender'
Contender Peach produces large fruits that have a small pit and excellent red skin color. Great for canning and fresh use. This variety has also been found to be very cold-hardy and has survived in northern growing areas where other peach varieties fail. Self-pollinates, pink blossoms in spring, and changes foliage color from dark green to deep yellow in the autumn. As a bonus, Contender has luscious, juicy fruit in the summer. The peach flesh is bright yellow, firm, and delicious, eaten fresh or preserved for out-of-season treats and baked goods.
All our plants are grown from local seed sources on our nursery in Kemptville.
Bareroot seedling stock ranges in size from 15cm to 1m in height, stock may be sorted and sold by size depending on species and stock development. The minimum grading size is identified in the description.
We do on occasion purchase seed from other areas for purpose grown trees such as Balsam and Fraser Fir for Christmas trees where no local seed sources are available.
Our plants are suitable and hardy for planting in areas throughout Eastern and Central Ontario from Toronto or North Bay eastward as well as southwestern Quebec. Our plants are hardy for other locations but optimal growth may not be met, for advice on moving stock to other locations please contact the nursery office.
