The Florida King Peach Tree (Prunus persica ‘Flordaking’) is one of the earliest-ripening, low-chill peach varieties available, prized for its exceptional performance in warm climates and its ability to produce large, juicy peaches weeks before standard varieties. Developed specifically for the South, Florida King thrives where traditional peaches fail, making it a top choice for Florida, the Gulf Coast, Texas, and other mild-winter regions.
Florida King produces medium to large peaches with bright yellow flesh, a sweet, classic peach flavor, and a beautiful red blush over golden skin. Harvest typically begins in late spring to early summer, delivering fresh peaches when few other fruits are available. With an extremely low chill requirement (often 150–200 chill hours), this peach tree reliably sets fruit even after mild winters.
This vigorous, fast-growing peach tree also puts on a show in early spring, covered in fragrant pink blossoms that attract pollinators and signal an early harvest season. Ideal for home orchards, backyard growers, and Southern edible landscapes, Florida King offers dependable yields, early fruiting, and easy care for warm-climate growers seeking fast results.

| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
