A fine peach for the North, with hardiness similar to Redhaven but ripening 3 weeks later, around the time of the Common Ground Country Fair. Medium-large fruit with bright orange skin and bright red blush. Orange-yellow firm fine-textured juicy flesh with excellent very sweet rich peach flavor. Skin peels easily. Freestone, excellent canner. Very productive.
Exceptional tolerance to blossom-season frost. This winter, deep freeze caused widespread dieback on all of our peach trees but Madison fared the best even upstaging Reliance on hardiness! A Fedco favorite! Z4. (3–6' bare-root trees)
