Tzim Pee Tao Peach (TPT) is a very cold hardy peach cultivar. The taste and form of these peaches is reported to be similar to the other cold hardy peach varieties.

This variety is resistant to powdery mildew, but has a shorter window to accept successful budding and chipping. Because it is relatively uniform in height and stem diameter when young, it is easy to work with in orchard production. This variety has a strong taproot.

Many find this rootstock to be both hardy and higher yielding than others This is a favourite choice for those in the BC interior and in Southern Ontario. The Tzim Pee Tao Peach (TPT) is considered to be true to seed.
