Prunus persica 'Betty'

A sweet, flavorful, and split pit-resistant peach was found as a seedling near Ferndale in Western Washington and was tested at the WSU Mt. Vernon Station. It is self fertile and ripens late in the season, at the end of August for us here in Western WA.

It has a deeper color than the variety Frost and is more productive. Betty has firm, semi-freestone fruit of excellent quality for making preserves, freezing, or enjoying fresh off the tree. Does not show much resistance to peach leaf curl. Late bloomer.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height:  14'

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Late

Pollination: Self Fertile

Dwarf Rootstock: St. Julian A

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • I have a Pix Zee Peach. I'm considering purchasing either a Betty Peach and/or a Bonanza Peach. Which one is best for my climate in Spokane, WA? ALSO... which of them is best to help pollenize my PixZee Peach? Thanks, Richard

    Both are self-fertile. However, I highly recommend the Betty Peach for your growing region. 

  • Will it tolerate a full month of 106 degree heat? North Central Text, zine 8b

    The Black Boy Peach is better suited for areas with long, hot summers like North Central Texas. 

  • How many chill hours does this tree need to produce a good crop?

    Unknown! Betty peach has not undergone any serious chilling hours trials. As most peaches need 1000+ chilling hours, that is what we suggest.

  • Will this be available as a bareroot tree for shipping?

    This is shipped as a bareroot tree currently.
