Description: Florida Grande Peach TreeThe Florida Grande Peach Tree will produce large red to orange peaches that ripen 100 to 105 days after blooming. Grafted trees can be expected to begin producing fruit in 2 to 3 years after planting. The trees need 100 chill hours per year to slow growth and generate blooms in spring. A chill hour is one hour when the temperature is between 45ºF and 32ºF. In the world of peach trees, 100 chill hours is quite low, which allows this variety to bloom and make fruit in warmer areas where other peach tree types may not. Florida Grande Peaches are round, freestone, and melting, so the fruit is great for eating fresh, making peach cobbler, ice cream, or freezing to blend into fruit smoothies.Florida Grande Peaches ripen from mid-May through June. As the peaches start to develop deeper red colors, test them by squeezing for firmness on the tree. Fruits that are ripe will yield slightly to gentle squeezes and will be sweet and juicy when sampled. The best way to check for ripeness is to do a taste test. If the fruit you taste is sour or astringent and dry inside, wait for a few days and try another fruit. Once the fruits begin to ripen, finding perfect ones to pick will become easy. Be sure to harvest all remaining fruit at the end of the growing season to give the tree a good start for next year.If you have been searching for the best Peach Tree to grow in a warm location, then the Florida Grande Peach Tree is here to save the day. The Florida Grande Peach Tree only needs 100 Chill Hours each year and it can be grown in-ground within USDA Hardiness Zones 8 to 11. Florida Grande Peaches are large, freestone fruits with orange-red skins and yellow flesh. The ripe fruit is juicy, melting, and has a honey sweetness.
