The Transvalia peach, a cultivar developed in South Africa, is known for its moderate yield and suitability for fresh consumption. Cultivated since 1987, it requires specific conditions to thrive, including full sun exposure and well-drained sandy clay or loam soil with a pH of about 6.5. These peaches are typically harvested in November and are self-fertile, meaning they don’t require cross-pollination. With proper care, a Transvalia peach tree can bear fruit for around 20 years, offering medium-sized, semi-upright peaches that are perfect for a sweet snack.
