In 1989, a collaboration between UF and Texas A&M introduced TropicSnow, a peach that quickly became known for its exceptional qualities. With its white, melting flesh and semi-freestone pits, this peach offers a delightful texture that melts in your mouth with every bite. As the fruit ripens, it develops a stunning 40–50% red blush over a creamy white background, creating a visual treat as much as a flavorful one. What truly sets TropicSnow apart, however, is its perfect balance of very low acidity and excellent sweetness, making it a standout for anyone seeking the ideal peach experience.
Low-chill fruit varieties, requiring fewer than 300 chill hours, are ideal for warmer climates in the southern states. These fruit trees thrive in regions with mild winters, ensuring reliable harvests of delicious, high-quality fruit without the need for cold winters.

| Pruning | Prune peach trees in late winter by removing dead wood, thinning the center for airflow, shortening side branches to 3-4 buds, and cutting away suckers to encourage healthy growth and fruiting. Once mature, peaches should be pruned yearly for best fruit production. |
| 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. |
