The Ranger Peach Tree is a cold-hardy peach variety known for producing medium to large yellow-fleshed peaches with sweet flavor and firm texture. Ripening in mid-summer, this freestone peach performs reliably in cooler climates where other varieties may struggle. In spring, the tree is covered in soft pink blossoms before developing a full canopy that supports consistent summer harvests.

PLANT DESCRIPTION & MATURE SIZE

The Ranger Peach Tree is a cold-hardy peach variety known for producing medium to large yellow-fleshed peaches with sweet flavor and firm texture. Ripening in mid-summer, this freestone peach is valued for its reliable production in cooler climates where other peach trees may struggle. With showy pink spring blossoms and dependable harvests, the Ranger Peach Tree is a strong choice for home orchards in northern regions.

GROWTH RATE & MATURE SIZE:

Moderate growth rate; reaches a mature height of 12–15 ft and a mature width of 12–15 ft.

WATERING & SUNLIGHT

Water deeply once or twice per week during the first growing season. After establishment, provide consistent deep watering during flowering and fruit development. Maintain evenly moist soil, especially during hot summer months. Plant in full sun for best fruit production and sweetness. At least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily is recommended.

PLANT CARE & PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

PRUNING:
Prune annually in late winter while dormant. Maintain an open-center shape to improve sunlight penetration and airflow, supporting fruit quality and reducing disease pressure.

FERTILIZING:
Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote leaf growth over fruit.

WINTER PROTECTION:
Ranger is cold hardy, but mulching around the base helps protect roots in severe winters. In colder regions, planting in a protected location can help safeguard blossoms from late frost.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as the container. Loosen roots gently, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to remove air pockets. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch several inches away from the trunk. Continue regular watering during the first growing season to establish a strong root system.

USDA GROW ZONE:

Zones 4-8

Ranger Peach Tree is well suited for colder climates and performs reliably in areas with harsh winters. It requires adequate winter chill hours and thrives in regions with full sun and good air circulation. This variety is often chosen in northern growing zones where late spring frosts are a concern. Proper site selection and frost protection can further improve fruit production.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
