Monroe Peach Tree

Origin: USA

Description:The Monroe Peach Tree is an excellent mid-season producer of high-quality, clingstone peaches. It is characterized by its hardy nature and adaptability to cooler climates compared to other peach varieties. The Monroe has a vigorous growth pattern and produces peaches that are resistant to bruising and have good keeping qualities.

Fruit: The peaches are medium to large with a bright red and golden skin that is thick and protects the fruit during handling. The flesh is yellow, firm, and has a rich, sweet flavor, making it ideal for canning and desserts.

Harvest: Harvesting occurs in early to mid-August. Monroe peaches are known for their consistent yield and the ability to bear fruit at a young age.

Pollination: Monroe requires cross-pollination for optimal fruit production and should be planted alongside another peach variety such as Elberta or Redhaven.

Spacing: Space Monroe peach trees about 4.5 to 5.5 meters apart to accommodate their robust growth and ensure optimal fruiting. The trees are medium-sized, typically reaching up to 3 meters in height.

Good to know: The robustness of Monroe peaches, along with their disease resistance, makes them a favored choice for growers in cooler climates or regions with challenging growing conditions. They are also highly appreciated for their extended harvest period and high yields.
