💬 Can I grow peaches and plums in Florida?
✅ Yes, you can grow peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums in Florida, provided you choose low-chill varieties.
- 🍑 These have been developed specifically for subtropical regions like Central and South Florida, where traditional temperate varieties struggle due to insufficient chill hours.
- 🍑 Low-chill varieties require as little as 150–300 chill hours (temperatures below 45°F) and thrive in hot climates, making them perfect for Florida' warm winters and hot summers.
- 🍑 These heat-tolerant fruit trees also perform well in other challenging climates, like Arizona.
- 🍑 While apricots generally need more chill hours than Florida's climate can provide, hybridization efforts have made peaches, nectarines, and plums reliable options for gardeners in these areas.
