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.

The comeback kid tree
This tree acted like it died for a long time. I saw 1 leaf wanting to poke out so I heavily fertilized it and now it's doing great

New tree survival
Growing very slowly thanks to chronic windstorms. My recommendation is for everyone, not just Arizona. Put up windbreaks to protect newly planted trees. These two survived 108 F in the shade, constant highs over 100, and humidity as low as 4%. Add in ground squirrel burrows and this would be a disaster. 'Squirrels are great for aerating soil, but too much and roots dry. These burrows are wonderful for sub-irrigation. Sorghum roots make them avoid the trees. Plenty of sun, but windbreaks. We use 40% shade cloth and T-posts. Trunks are painted, but leaves are vulnerable. Happy summer!
