The Messina Peach was bred and selected for the northeastern states, and is the perfect choice if you live in those areas. Peaches are very specific to different climates, and this is the one for later springs and cooler summers. You will harvest very large, and delicious, ripe peaches in the second half of August, and their fiber-free, melting flesh will delight you, just as the deep orange-red skin will tempt you to take a bite of your very own tree-ripened crop. Small but charming red-pink flowers decorate the bare branches in spring, making this a tree you can grow in the garden, not just in an orchard. Full self-fertile without needing a second tree. - Top variety for northeastern states - Ripens in August - Very large peaches with orange-red skin - Freestone, with melting orange-yellow flesh - Self-fertile - the only peach you need Plant your Messina Peach in full sun, in a warm position. In cold areas growing it trained on a wall will ensure a sweet, well-ripened crop. The soil should be well-drained, and peaches prefer lighter, more sandy soils, but not poor, dry soil. Prune from the beginning, to develop a vase-shaped tree with a center free of branches, and about 5 major limbs radiating out from the trunk.
