Florida Prince Peach Tree
Description
The Florida Prince Peach was developed by researchers at the University of Florida specifically for regions with mild winters. The low chilling requirement results in an early-season crop of sweet, semi-freestone peaches. Florida Prince is a very heat-resistant variety with firm yellow flesh and red blush skin that ripens in May.
Flordaprince Peaches are large, with melting flesh – excellent for eating fresh, freezing or canning. It is not uncommon for the Flordaprince to bear fruit in the second year of life. The Flordaprince Peach trees are also great producers. With regular pruning, one peach tree alone can feed your entire extended family!
This peach tree variety does best with rich-loamy, slightly acidic, well-draining soil, with an estimated chill hours of 150, below 45°F.
