Buy Gulf King Peach Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Gulf King Peach, botanically known as Prunus persica ‘Gulfking’, is an early-season peach selected for North Florida and the lower Southeast. Its fruit has striking red color, yellow flesh, and a firm texture.

Gulf King was released through a cooperative peach breeding program involving the University of Florida, University of Georgia, and USDA. With a chill requirement of about 350 hours, it is a good variety to consider for the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and nearby Gulf Coast areas where that winter chill requirement is met.

The peaches develop red skin over a deep yellow background. Their yellow flesh is very firm and non-melting, meaning it stays firmer when ripe than the soft flesh of a traditional melting peach. Gulf King is a clingstone variety, so the flesh does not separate easily from the pit. The fruit is well suited to fresh eating.

Gulf King Peach Trees fit home orchards, edible landscapes, backyard fruit gardens, and small farms. Give them full sun, well-drained soil, and room for good air movement. Annual pruning, fruit thinning when needed, and regular peach tree care help support healthy growth and good fruit production.
