Summer Gold Peach is a late-season peach variety prized by home gardeners for extending the peach harvest into late summer. It produces sweet, golden-yellow fruit with attractive red-blushed skin and is valued for both fresh eating and processing. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Self-Pollinating but will benefit if another fruiting peach is planted nearby. 750-850 chilling hours needed.
