The Frost peach is a gorgeous freestone fruit that was developed to require less care than most others. The fragrant pink flowers bloom later than most peach varieties in order to avoid fruit-damaging frosts, which is actually how the tree got its name. The delicious Frost peaches are large and juicy with a red and yellow blush and their excellent flavor inarguably projects Frost to the status of the best cold-weather peach! If want to grow fresh peaches but have always thought your growing climate was too cold, the Frost Peach won’t let you down!
