Care
Planting & Growing
Tropic Snow Peach will grow to be about 15 to 20 feet tall at maturity, with a similar spread. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 3 feet from the ground and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a moderate rate and can be expected to live for many years under ideal conditions.
This tree does best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Regular watering is important during establishment and fruit development, though soil should not remain overly wet. Tropic Snow Peach requires approximately 200 chilling hours and performs well in USDA Zones 6–10. This variety is self-fruitful, so only one tree is needed for fruit production. It is not native to North America.
