Galactica is a useful choice for northern growers as the flower buds have good frost resistance.
It grows with a vigorous upright form and crops heavily. Fruiting usually begins in the 3rd year.
Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Galactica was developed by North Carolina State University in the 1990s. It is closely related to the well known and successful Contender peach, crossed with a Fantasia nectarine, and further crossed with a Chinese flat peach to give the characteristic peento shape.
