{"product_id":"peach-evas-pride-smdwf-tr","title":"Eva's Pride Peach Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eEva’s Pride Peach Tree is one of the first varieties to announce summer in a mild-winter orchard, bringing ripe peaches to the garden while many other trees are still developing their crop. Its medium to large fruit colors reddish orange over golden skin, creating a warm, sunlit appearance around fine-textured yellow flesh. The flavor is sweet, juicy, and aromatic, with the fresh peach fragrance that makes an early harvest feel particularly exciting after months without homegrown stone fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEva’s Pride is delicious eaten out of hand and equally welcome in cobblers, preserves, or sliced desserts, giving an early crop plenty of purpose. For home growers, its combination of low-chill adaptability, early timing, attractive fruit, and manageable orchard scale makes it an especially useful variety—and an inviting way to begin a longer season of peaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeeding only 100–200 chill hours, Eva’s Pride is designed for low-chill climates in USDA zones 9–10. In suitable climates, harvest generally runs from late June into mid-July. Give the semi-dwarf tree full sun, excellent drainage, regular deep irrigation, and annual pruning; thin crowded fruit early so the remaining peaches can develop size and flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEva’s Pride is self-fruitful and can set fruit without a separate pollinizer. Planting another peach with overlapping bloom may increase pollinator activity and support fruit set, while a midseason companion keeps the orchard productive after this early crop finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEva's Pride Peach Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to large yellow-fleshed peach with reddish-orange skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, juicy, aromatic, and fine textured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, cobblers, preserves, canning, and freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late June to mid-July, with timing varying by region and season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100–200 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fruitful and productive on its own; another compatible variety with overlapping bloom may encourage pollinator activity and support fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended companions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extend the low-chill season with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-midpride-semidwarf-tree\"\u003eMid-Pride Peach\u003c\/a\u003e or add \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nectarine-snow-queen-semi-dwarf\"\u003eSnow Queen Nectarine\u003c\/a\u003e for smooth-skinned variety.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because bloom and harvest arrive early, watch local frost forecasts and thin the crop promptly after fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eva’s Pride came from Zaiger Genetics’ low-chill Pride series; the possessive name distinguishes it within that family of peaches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit \u0026amp; Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21545015607409,"sku":"FT138","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/EvasPride1.jpg?v=1769757711","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/peach-evas-pride-smdwf-tr","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
