Big Red Peach

Imagine stepping into your backyard in late summer and plucking a warm, blush-red peach right off the branch — sweet, juicy, and grown by your own hands. The Big Red Peach makes that a reality. This 3-foot specimen is a proven performer in the mid-South, delivering heavy crops of large, firm, red-blushed freestone peaches with exceptional flavor.

Big Red is a late-season variety, ripening in August when most other peaches are done — extending your harvest window and giving you fresh fruit when the market is winding down. It's self-fertile, low-chill, and well-adapted to the heat and humidity of Kentucky and surrounding states.
