Sweet-N-Up is a mid-season peach ripening just after Loring. The fruit is very large, firm and highly colored. High quality fruit is produced from this upright, heavy cropping tree. Sweet N Up is similar to Crimson Rocket in habit, but slightly more spreading.

Developed by Dr. Ralph Scorza at the USDA Station in Kearneysville, West Virginia. New during Spring 2005.

Almost all peaches are self-fertile and require no pollinators. They will set heavy crops on single trees, which need heavy and aggressive thinning early in the season for best fruit size. Maintain good vigor in peaches by pruning every year, and fertilizing moderately. Aim for 1-3 feet of new growth a year. Fertilize early in the season, so that growth is well hardened off before fall and winter cold weather.
