Encore Peach — 5 Gallon
(Prunus persica ‘Encore’)
Tree Description
The Encore Peach is a late-season peach variety prized for its large, juicy fruit and excellent flavor. The peaches develop a beautiful golden-yellow skin with a red blush, and the flesh is sweet, firm, and perfect for fresh eating.
Encore peaches ripen later than many other peach varieties, helping extend the harvest season when earlier peaches are finished. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, baking, canning, and desserts.
In spring, the tree produces beautiful pink blossoms that add ornamental value to the landscape before fruit begins to develop. These 5-gallon trees establish quickly and grow into productive fruit trees, often beginning to produce peaches within a few growing seasons.
