Disease-Resistant Peaches Bursting with Flavor
Quite possibly one of the highest-rated fruit trees of all-time, the Indian Free White Peach Tree produces fruit that is large and firm – and packed with flavor!
This beautiful peach tree boasts showy pink flowers in the springtime and fragrant white peaches marbled with dark red streaks late in the summer. Reaching a mature size of around 25 feet tall and nearly nine feet wide, the Indian Free White Peach Tree is the most adaptable of fruit trees for home gardens.
The peaches of this tree are often described as sweet, smooth, and juicy – with a hint of plum flavor. In fact, many gardeners enjoy the taste so much, they use the fruit for baking, canning, or simply enjoying right off the vine!
The best part? This peach tree is disease-resistant, particularly to leaf curl, making it an excellent option for home gardeners. Plus, it’s cold-hardy – so you can enjoy your fruit longer in the season with less fuss.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Peach Tree in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day). Protect your tree from heavy winds by planting on the sunniest side of a building or your home.
When you’re ready to plant, dig the hole twice the size as the root ball and just a little shallower. Use your fingers to separate the roots of your June Gold, place the tree, backfill the soil, and apply water to settle.
2. Watering: Keep the soil around your tree moist, but not over-saturated. Watering once a week by leaving a hose at the base of the tree for a couple of hours is sufficient. Once the soil around the tree has dried, water the tree again. During times of extreme heat, your tree may need additional water.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your tree with a well-balanced fertilizer such as a 12-12-12 formula. Apply in spring before the tree pushes out new growth. Repeat this in the summer and fall seasons as well.
4. Pruning: Trees should only be pruned while the plant is dormant without leaves. That is usually in winter or early spring before the leaf buds open up.
