Widely popular for their sweet, juicy fruits and beautiful blossoms, the Flordaking is a vigorous grower that produces large, firm peaches in the late spring. The Flordaking peaches are clingstone, meaning that the flesh tends to cling to the pit. As such, they are also sweet and can be eaten fresh or are a great choice for desserts. The peaches are yellow with a red blush and yellow flesh. The tree requires 450 chill hours and is a self-pollinator. It is hardy in USDA zones 6-8 and is shipped in a #5 pot with a minimum plant height of 24 in.
