The Red Skin Peach (Prunus persica ‘Red Skin’) is a top-quality freestone peach tree prized for its vibrant red skin, rich flavor, and exceptionally heavy yields. This proven variety produces medium to large peaches with a deep red blush over golden-yellow skin and firm, juicy yellow flesh perfect for fresh eating, baking, canning, and preserves. Its dependable performance makes it a favorite among home orchard growers, backyard gardeners, and small farms seeking a high-producing, high-flavor peach tree.
This vigorous and productive peach tree is also known for its strong ornamental value. In early spring, Red Skin Peach explodes with showy pink blossoms that attract pollinators and add striking beauty to the landscape. By midsummer, the tree delivers an abundant harvest of high-quality freestone peaches with excellent texture, sweetness, and storage potential.
With a chill requirement of 750–850 chill hours, Red Skin Peach thrives in temperate climates, colder regions, and traditional peach-growing zones where higher-chill varieties excel. This makes it an outstanding choice for growers looking for a cold-hardy, reliable, and consistently productive peach tree.
Required Chill Hours: 750–850

| 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. |
