Vivid Peach is a newer-generation variety selected for both appearance and eating quality. The fruit develops intense red coloration over golden-yellow flesh, giving it standout curb appeal while still delivering the sweet, classic peach flavor growers want.

Ripening mid to late season, Vivid produces firm, freestone peaches that hold their texture well on the tree and in the kitchen. It’s a great choice for growers who want a visually striking peach that doesn’t sacrifice flavor or reliability.

Planting & Care – Vivid Peach

Site Selection

Select a sunny location to support strong color development and sweetness.
Good airflow helps maintain healthy foliage and consistent fruit quality.

Soil Preparation

Plant in well-drained soil to prevent excess moisture around the roots.
If soil is heavy or slow-draining, planting on a slight mound can improve drainage.

Planting Instructions

For container-grown trees, plant approximately 1 inch deeper than the nursery soil line; for bare-root trees, set the root flare at or just above finished soil level.
Water thoroughly after planting to settle soil and remove air pockets.
Apply a light layer of mulch to conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Water deeply after planting to encourage strong root establishment.
During the first growing season, water regularly and deeply, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Once established, deeper and less frequent watering supports healthier trees.
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth begins.

Pruning

Train to an open-center form to allow sunlight to reach the interior canopy.
Annual pruning supports airflow, fruit quality, and manageable tree size.
Thin fruit early to improve size and reduce branch stress.

Harvest & Use

Harvest when fruit is fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
Ideal for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and preserving.

General Tips

Strong summer light enhances Vivid’s signature red coloration.
Allow fruit to ripen fully on the tree for best flavor.
