Description

Octoberfest is a remarkable late-season variety that celebrates the transition from summer to fall with large, flavorful fruit. These freestone peaches feature bright golden skin with a warm red blush and juicy, sweet flesh with just a hint of tartness for a balanced taste. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, or preserving, Octoberfest peaches bring versatility and flavor to your kitchen. This self-fruitful tree thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate chill hours to perform its best. Perfect for regions with cooler growing seasons, it provides a reliable harvest when most other peaches have finished. With its unique timing and exceptional fruit quality, Octoberfest is an excellent addition to home orchards, offering a delicious way to extend your peach season well into autumn.
