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.

THE LITTLE PEACH TREE THAT CAN
Received the Desert Gold Peach Tree in perfect condition.
It sat in the shipping container for about a week and we added water to keep it moist.
Dug a nice wide hole for the future root system to easily branch out and added potting soil.
Winter is normally NOT the time for growing, but this little tree wants to grow now because it
has more than few "buds" that are expanding in this chill weather in Arizona.
Everything looks promising for good growth and we are happy with your product.

HOT PEACH
This tree the last 3 yrs has been amazing here in Fresno, but be on guard & stay on-top of spraying for Leaf curl. Systemic works well for insect pests....
Enjoy an amazing Peach !

This was a great tree. It was loaded with blooms last year but no fruit. I believe I should get peaches this season.
