Contender Standard Peach

I live in Zone 5 and bought this tree because I was skeptical of the hardiness for peaches labeled Zone 5. I thought a Zone 4 peach would be more reliable. I've had this tree for more than 10 years. As with all fruit trees, it took a few years to come into production, but once it did...Wow! Peaches are sweet, juicy, free stone, and so delicious. I've had peaches in years with late frosts, when I didn't expect any. After it was old enough to produce, the only year I didn't have peaches was 2023--and I think that's because the tree needed a rest after producing so much fruit in 2022. The biggest problem I have is operator error. I thought I'd pruned properly to an open vase shape, but I didn't head back the branches enough. They now extend 12-15' from the trunk. I also need to learn to thin the fruit better. In a good year, I've had some branches drag on the ground and others break from the weight of the fruit. As a result of its age and the damage, I'm buying a new tree now so I have a replacement when needed.
