{"product_id":"peach-midpride-semidwarf-tree","title":"Mid-Pride Peach Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eMid-Pride Peach Tree gives warm-winter gardeners the pleasure of harvesting a full-flavored yellow peach without waiting for the kind of prolonged winter cold many traditional varieties require. Its attractive fruit colors from golden yellow to a rich red blush, creating a classic peach appearance that looks as inviting on the tree as it does in a harvest basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, the juicy yellow flesh offers balanced sweetness and acidity, with enough brightness to taste refreshing and enough sugar to satisfy when eaten fresh. The peaches also have the character needed for cobblers, preserves, and other summer recipes, so a generous crop can be enjoyed in many ways. For gardeners in mild climates who have struggled to find peaches suited to their conditions, Mid-Pride offers both practicality and the unmistakable pleasure of a fragrant, sun-warmed peach picked at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a requirement of about 250 chill hours, Mid-Pride is tailored to USDA zones 9–10. In suitable climates, harvest falls during July, making it a useful bridge between very early low-chill peaches and later summer varieties. Site the semi-dwarf tree in full sun and fast-draining soil, then prune and thin annually for strong renewal growth and better fruit size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMid-Pride is self-fruitful and productive as a single tree. A nearby peach with overlapping bloom may bring more pollinator movement through the canopy and support fruit set. Combining it with Eva’s Pride is especially useful when the goal is to stretch a low-chill peach harvest across more of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMid-Pride Peach Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to large yellow peach with red-blushed skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juicy, sweet, aromatic, and pleasantly balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, baking, preserves, and freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 About 250 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 Start the season with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-evas-pride-smdwf-tr\"\u003eEva’s Pride Peach\u003c\/a\u003e or add \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-babcock-semi-dwarf\"\u003eBabcock Peach\u003c\/a\u003e for a white-fleshed low-chill option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin developing fruit and maintain an open-center structure so sunlight reaches the ripening crop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Pride is part of Zaiger Genetics’ Pride series, whose names mark a succession of low-chill peach harvest periods.\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":21548885180529,"sku":"FT333","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/MidPride1.jpg?v=1769757711","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/peach-midpride-semidwarf-tree","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
