Majestic Peach is a fruiting deciduous tree with an upright spreading habit grown for its strong yield of huge free-stone fruit in summer. These fruits are very juicy and sweet with an excellent flavor. In spring, fragrant blooms of soft pink flowers hug the bare branches attracting butterflies. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Majestic is a self pollinator and requires 500-600 chill hours. Disease resistant.
