The Selena Peach (Prunus persica 'Selena') is a highly regarded late-season variety, celebrated for its outstanding flavor, vibrant color, and reliable productivity. With its large, richly colored fruit and sweet, juicy flesh, Selena is perfect for fresh eating, desserts, or preserving. Ripening later than many other peaches, it extends the harvest season, allowing gardeners to enjoy fresh peaches well into late summer.

Unique Features:

• Rich Skin Color: Attractive red-blushed skin over a golden yellow background makes it visually striking.
• Sweet, Juicy Flesh: Delicious yellow flesh with excellent sweetness and juiciness, ideal for fresh eating.
• Freestone Pit: The pit separates cleanly from the flesh, making preparation easy.
• Versatile Use: Excellent for fresh consumption, baking, canning, or preserves.

How to Plant
STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
Care Guide

Plant peach trees in deep, well-drained, sandy soil and in an area with plenty of sunlight. Planting should be done in the spring. Prune once a year, removing vertical branches to encourage lateral growth.
