The skin is a red-orange color while the flesh is sweet and yellow. The flesh of the peach is firm and resists browning, and the freestone pit removes easily.

The tree requires 1050 chill hours to produces fruit each year. At maturity, the Contender is approximately 10 ft.-15 ft. in height and width. It is hardy in USDA Zones 4-8 and is shipped in a #5 pot with an average tree height of 2 ft.
