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? Unlike other peach varieties, this hardy tree produces a reliably delicious fruit that won't go brown on you before its time.

    Great customer service

    Fast Growing trees is absolutely the best company you can buy plants from! I had ordered 2 contender peach trees and only received one. The one I did receive was damaged through rough shipping. I reached out to them and they promptly received an email apologizing for the inconvenience and they send they would resend my order. Not only did they make it right but they upgraded my order to the 5-6ft trees at no charge! The new trees arrived much healthier and had buds and blossoms on them already. I can’t say enough good about the amazing customer service! 10/10 recommend you order from fastgrowingtrees. com

    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.

    Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Tammy! We love hearing how well your Contender Peaches are growing! It’s exciting to know they have the potential to be the best peaches ever. Regarding this, we focus on keeping our prices competitive with other online retailers and regularly offer great promotions.
