'Contender' Peach Tree
Prunus persica
Noted for it's cold hardiness!
Melting, sweet, yellow flesh. Extra-juicy fresh fruit. Reachable tree produces full-sized fruits, but on a smaller tree. It makes it manageable allowing one person to prune, spray, net and harvest the tree. Full-sized fruit.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!
