Flamin’ Fury PF 24-C Peach Tree Overview
The Flamin’ Fury PF 24-C peach tree is a truly hardy, unique peach tree. Since it blooms later than other varieties, it consistently produces excellent crops especially in frostier locations where peaches wouldn’t be normally planted. Not only does it have a rich, delicious, flavor with beautiful fruit, but it is better than other cold hardy varieties such as Reliance. Additionally it has freestone peaches which have flesh that separate easily from the pit compared to clingstones which cling to the pit. In fact, Paul Friday, a famous peach breeder in Michigan, discovered the Flamin’ Fury PF 24-C in the 1990’s during a very cold winter. It is said to be the most promising of the Flamin’ Fury series.
Just like some other peach trees, the Flamin’ Fury PF 24-C peach tree prefers fertile, loamy, well-draining soils. It can grow well in hardiness zones 5-8, although some think it is actually hardy to zone 4. Moreover these peaches will ripen in late July/earlyAugust, three weeks after Redhaven. When they flower, they will decorate the landscape with a bouquet of aromatic, pink blossoms. If you would like more information on how to plant and grow fruit trees, see the articles in our guide.
