This variety is self pollinating.

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. Plant one of these varieties within 100' for best results.

DWARF, LARGE FRUIT, WORKS IN MY GARDEN SPOT, HOPING THAT IT DOES WELL IN WIND

We have only one peach tree so I have two now.

Size of tree and fruit and flavor.

I'm trying to create a farm specializing in the largest fruits and vegetables around along with great flavor.

if I bought two of these flaming fury trees will they pollinate each other?

Sorry, no. You will need two different peach varieties with a similar bloom time in order for good pollination to occur. FF Jumbo is self-pollinating, but will produce more and larger fruit with a partner; any of the other FF varieties (excepting the Early and Late varieties) will serve as a pollinator.

Hi-If I get the Flamin' Fury on Feb 21st, when should I plant it? We are 6 miles from Manhattan. Thanks, Don

If you purchase a bareroot tree, it is dormant and can be planted as soon as the soil is thawed enough to easily dig a hole. Plant tree before bud break if possible. If tree is starting to leaf you need to plant asap even if just a pot to hold it until you can get the tree planted where you need it

What other variety would be a good option with Flaming Fury Jumbo?

Reliance and Red Haven have both been really good for me with the Flaming Fury

After planting a peach tree 3weeks ago the leafs started turning brown.why?

Chuck, your tree is experiencing transplant shock most likely. This is not uncommon but it is can be made worse by planting so late in the season, by not watering adequately, by planting too shallow or too deep, or from excessive fertilization. To reduce the transplant shock, water the tree with at least one inch of water per week and do this for at least the first year or two of the new transplant. Make sure your tree is planted at the same depth as it was grown in the nursery and do not fertilize the tree at all until it is well established and showing new growth. Make sure your tree receives at least 6 hours of direct sun each day during the growing season. The Flamin Fury Jumbo peach is by far the best peach I have ever had. It grows to the size of a softball, it is easy to remove from the pit, it is very juicy and sweet and makes the best pies and cobbler. For future reference, the best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant in the fall or winter. This will minimize the transplant shock.

flaming fury has many different species: ex; (24)..which one is this exactly?

As it says in the description, it is cultivar PF-24-007. Many of Paul Friday's cultivars are number-coded vs. named (e.g., "8 Ball", et al). These are all excellent peach varieties.

Zone 7 difficulty with apricot tree - grew well for two years - looking bad bad bad this year - fertilize 3 times a year - copper spray , prune in winter 
     No sign of disease or borers 
    Anything I can do to revive - it’s looking bad ?
Best - thanks

I'm sorry I don't know how to help you. I live in zone 8b I only fertilize once a year and every year I've had apricots i did find this liquid fertilizer through farmers almanac is called dr Jima and is called chicken soup for the soil i have to say i started using it last year and this year the fruit is bigger they have not ripened yet so I don't know how they taste

Keeping squirrels away from fruit ?

That's a real challenge, even if they're not the threat that groundhogs are. Contrary to general thinking, groundhogs not only climb my largest peach trees, but harvest lots more than individual squirrels. Still, we all try. I've had some successes in using aluminum sheets sold by Home Depot and wrapping the tree's trunk with it to make climbing difficult. OTOH, if your peach tree's limbs are accessible via a closely tree limb, the wraparound obvious will not work.

what is the zoning for this peach?

Many varieties of Flaming Fury are described as being compatible in zones 5-9. However, know there are quite a few varieties of the Flaming Fury Peach. I don't know if "all" varieties are zoned 5-9. Ask where you purchased it what type/variety yours is. They should know and tell you the zone. I have 3, and have no idea which types they are. I'm in zone 8a and they are ok, but not doing as well as Contender, Red Haven or Encore. If you have not purchased any yet look up "you pick" farms in your area and look at their picking schedules on line. That will tell you which types are doing well in your area. If it's not posted call and ask them. In short I think it may be a tad to hot for them here in 8a in the spot they are in with full sun. I hope this helps!

im in 6B. is it to late in the season to plant a peach tree and get good results ?

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.

You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

Is this peach a free stone ?

I believe it is according to its description. I am excited about my tree. The first year it was planted it had one peach. A dang deer ate it. This year I had four peaches. They didn’t survive the spring. I think my watering system wasn’t working properly so they dropped off. I am excited to see what it will do in 2024. And one customer said his peaches were softball size. Yum. Good luck. Bert

Flamin Fury Jumbo Peach Tree
The tree arrived on time and when removing it from the box it looked healthy. Unfortunately it is coming upon winter and it is hard to tell until spring arrives whether it will survive the winter months in the Northeast. We shall see. I am hoping for some beautiful peaches in the years coming.

Looking forward to fresh peaches.
My Flamin Fury Peach arrived well packaged and in good shape. Once in the ground seemed to take well. This is only the first year for it here so hopefully it will thrive in the yrs to come.

Happy little tree!
Arrived well-packed for shipping. Planted the day it arrived and it started to leaf-out immediately. Has been happy and thriving during the summer. Am hoping it will be well-established and ready to weather our harsh winter.
