Fairtime Peach is a late-season freestone peach variety that typically ripens in September. It produces large, firm fruits with yellow flesh and a red blush over yellow skin. These peaches are known for their excellent flavor, juiciness, and good storage quality. Fairtime peaches require approximately 650-700 chill hours and grow well in USDA zones 6-9. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Self-Pollinating but will benefit if another fruiting peach is planted nearby.
