Peach Picking in Arizona and Hawaii
Arizona's desert valleys, irrigated and intensely sunny, support a number of low-chill peach orchards that ripen earlier in the year than almost anywhere else in the country, often by May. Hawaii's tropical climate, by contrast, lacks the winter chill that peach trees need to fruit properly, so the islands have essentially no commercial peach industry, and pick-your-own peach picking isn't part of the local agricultural landscape.
Best Time for Peach Picking in Arizona
As early as April and May for low-chill varieties, making it one of the earliest peach seasons in the country, with most orchards finished well before the summer heat peaks.
