Bounty Peach Tree Overview

The Bounty peach tree is an ideal freestone tree if you want a juicy, succulent peach which ripens around July 4th. Not only does the tree bear reliably but it also has one of the most attractive red blushing fruits. In addition to eating the bounty peaches fresh, you can also use them for baking and canning. When the peach trees start to bloom in the early spring, your garden will be decorated with beautiful, fragrant, pink flowers. However, in order for the trees to bud, they require 800 chill hours below 45 degrees F/7 degrees Celsius. We grow this peach tree on Lovell rootstock, one of the regular peach tree rootstocks. If you would like more information on how to plant and grow this tree, see our guide.
