Prunus persica 'Frost'

Frost is a lucky chance seedling discovered at the WSU Mount Vernon testing station, where it performed well in 10-year trials for disease resistance, especially to peach leaf curl. It has proved to be a remarkably durable tree, sailing through disease attacks and continuing to set fruit and ripen crops even in less-than perfect conditions and locations. A tasty, yellow-fleshed peach, it is semi-freestone making it good for fresh eating and kitchen-made treats. Frost also excels as an ornamental tree due to its full, almost double-blossomed, rosy flowers! Ripens mid-season.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height:  14' 

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Mid-Season

Pollination: Self Fertile

Dwarf Rootstock: St. Julian A

Lovely tree

Tree arrived in excellent condition and nicely trimmed. Directions for planting and care could have been better. Tree is just starting to wake up and it appears healthy.

Wonderful "Frost" peach in Zone 6B/7a, PA.

I planted "Frost" peach from Raintree Nursery in spring of 2021. In two years, it grew above 6 ft and flowered abundantly. "Hardired" nectarine is "Frost's" neighbor, therefore crosspollination likely increased the fruit set, which was so heavy that intense fining was necessary. Fruits started ripening by the beginning of August and were all-ready after 2 weeks (mid of August). Sun exposed side of peaches are covered with intense red blush, the pulp is yellow-orange and free-stone. Fruits are of excellent tase, more sweet than sour, juicy but not too much. Cases of split-pit are very rare (1-3 fruits from all harvest). I noticed some signs of leaf curl in spring (April or May), symptoms appearing for less than a month. Later disease disappears by itself ant the tree remains completely curl-free for the rest of the season.

Died

Sadly, our frost peach tree never survived. It looked great coming out of the box but never showed a leaf. We received an apple tree at the same time and it is growing great.

Arrived in Good Condition, BUT

I was surprised that there were no planting instructions of any kind.
I have planted bare root roses before, so I used that same method, nevertheless I would have felt more confident if there had been some directions about planting. Other than the tree itself, wrapped in plastic, there was NOTHING else in the box.

Frost Peaches

The trees have been planted and look wonderful. I already had 2 of these trees planted 5 years ago and they produce well, taste fantastic, and easy to pick because of the reasonable height.

Addition

This additional Frost Peace arrived well packaged with a good root system and no damage issues. It’s looking like a typical cold damp spring here in the PNW so time will tell!

Best 5 star

Every thing I got was great! What did happen was I needed more strawberries and the customer sevice person wanted to charge me $19,95 for one strawberry and she thought she was right and I was telling me I was wrong! I told her to CXL my order, I got them at home Depo for 2 for $5,00, I think she was new.

Best peach I have

I planted one of these in the early 90s and had great results, I moved and planted my current tree in 2013. Its amazing how much it grows every year- some new branches 4 to 8 feet long, I prune it heavily like 30 to 40 percent cut back and still often get up to 3 grocery sacks full much of them between soft ball and hardball size. There are quite a few split pits but it doesnt ruin the fruit in any way and sometimes youll get a stringy textured peach. Never fails to get a decent harvest. In my yard close to the puget sound ne4ar tacoma- this is one of my best trees!

My tree arrived looking great and has been in the ground a couple of weeks at this point. It is starting to wake up and the buds are beginning to swell. Thanks
