Perfect for my planting zone!

Hello, My zone area is 9. I have grown this tree over 20 years ago, but it needs to be replaced. Please give me a healthy tree. Thanks, Jeff

I choose this peach because of the low chill hour requirements (250). We also live in the Mojave Desert. Last summer we had a week of above 115 temperatures. So I hope this peach lives up to it's name.
