Flavorful Peaches That Grow Nearly Anywhere
Why Contender Peach Trees?
When it comes to growing peaches, the mark of a winner is the diversity of the areas where they can grow – and the Contender Peach Tree is no exception. With excellent cold hardiness and tolerance to the occasional late spring frosts, it's one of the few peach varieties that will flourish in northern regions.
And in a short time, large velvety peaches will emerge from the Contender's branches like nature's work of art. Plus, this tree’s succulent, ripe peaches delight with each juicy bite. One taste and you'll know why the Contender is considered the most flavorful and fresh peach available. Even better?

Great customer service. On-line customer service needs to be more user friendly.
The contender is doing fine planted a couple of days after receiving and it’s beginning to bud
Great!
Contender is the best!
It's not always marked ok for zone 8a but it works for me. We have clay mix soil and it does just fine. The peaches are just starting on my other Contenders and they are normal grocery store size. However at at nearby peach farm the Contenders are HUGE. Im just learning so the garden hose is my only irrigation. But they are quite capable of being the best peaches ever! I've ordered several from FGT and they are always perfect and arrive fast. FGT though is gonna blow it though if they keep raising their prices bc you can get nice ones at other places cheaper.

Fabulous! The tree was perfect!
Healthy Trees Bear the Best Peaches Ever
I purchased and planted two of these trees in late winter / early spring. I’m writing this review in August, with a bowl of peaches beside me. Not only did the trees fruit during their first year (even though I bought the smaller sized ones), the peaches are the best I’ve ever tasted—very juicy and sweet, with a slight hint of tartness and richly-colored golden flesh. In comparison, grocery store peaches might as well be balls of styrofoam. As a bonus, the pink blossoms these trees produce in the spring are beautiful. I love these trees so much that I’m considering purchasing more.
