Frost Peach

Late-Ripening, Cold-Hardy & Disease Resistant

The Frost peach is a standout choice for Ontario growers — its late bloom time means it often escapes spring frost damage that catches other peach varieties off guard. Add in excellent disease resistance and sweet, aromatic freestone fruit, and you have a peach tree that's as practical as it is delicious.

Why Gardeners Love It

• ❄️ Late blooming — flowers later in spring, reducing the risk of frost damage to blossoms
• 🛡️ Excellent disease resistance — less maintenance, healthier tree
• 🍑 Sweet, aromatic freestone fruit — flesh separates cleanly from the pit, perfect for fresh eating and preserving
• 🌱 Self-fertile — one tree produces a good crop on its own
• 🌱 Supplied bare root — plant in early spring for best results

Pollination

Self-fertile — one tree will produce on its own. For a significantly larger harvest, plant alongside another peach variety such as Reliance Peach, also available at Catkins Nursery. More pollinators = more bounty!

Growing Notes

Prefers full sun and a warm, sheltered location. Well-drained soil is essential. Water regularly in the first season. Ripens in late August to early September. Hardiness Zone: 4–5 — best suited to southern Ontario and sheltered locations.
