TropicSweet Peach

TropicSweet Peach

Prunus persica 'TropicSweet'

100 chill hours. The lowest-chill peach worth growing.

TropicSweet pushes the low-chill ceiling further than almost anything else: 100 hours. That opens up Zone 9 and the warmest parts of Zone 8 for actual peach production. Yellow-fleshed, freestone, excellent sweetness — not a compromise cultivar. Developed by UF/IFAS. Ripens very early in the season. Self-fertile. If you're in a truly mild-winter zone and thought peaches were out of reach, TropicSweet is your answer.
