Peach - Frost, prunus persica 'Frost', is a freestone with light red blush over greenish yellow. Frost is delicious, excellent for eating fresh or canning. It has a showy pink spring bloom and is heavy bearing. These peach blossoms appear late winter and early spring along grey branches, before leaves emerge. It is an extremely vigorous tree and requires fertile, well drained soils. At 3 or 4 years of age it begins to bear large crops and reach peak productivity at 8 to 12 years. Peaches need clear, hot weather during their growing season and require well-drained soil as well as a regular fertilizing program. They also require heavier pruning than any other fruit trees to maintain size and encourage new growth. 'Frost' is very cold-hardy and could be grown to Zone 5.

I bought and planted a Frost Peach several years back. I grew fast and strong and started to produce quicker that I expected. This year is the 3rd year it has produced and I got over 2 bushels of large, sweet peaches. The skin is easy to peel, the freestone almost pops out by it's self and the flavor is a full peachy taste. I highly recommend the Frost Peach. It is a healthy tree and produces fine, large peaches.
