Love Stark Brothers products. Amazing results for growing in Cape Cod soil.
Purchased and plated this peach tree in the spring of 2021. Last year (2024) loaded with buds and removed them to allow the energy to go toward tree growth one more year. This year loaded with buds and lots of peaches. ??

Very satisfied
Beautiful trees! They are growing like crazy. I am 100% more satisfied with Stark Brothers trees, over some I ordered elsewhere. I will not make that mistake again!

No sure
Have had the tree for 2 years now and no peaches. Not sure if it's the weather or what. The tree looks healthy just no fruit. Arrived in good condition and easy to plant. Gets full sun.

No peaches again
Bought this peach tree and another back in 2021 and still not 1 peach! Disappointed. Have taken great care of them, so again maybe next year. We had a mild winter in zone 7B

Mistake of a purchase
Will never order peach trees from Stark Bros again... this as well as Rehaven, Babygold 5, Reliance, and Contender had their tap roots cut to fit in the box and may have survived if they were bundled with more than shredded newspaper (does not hold enough water for more than a 2 day trip in the mail). All of them tried to recover, unsuccessfully. Some ended up with new shoots from the rootstock (that eventually died), but I did not pay for rootstock. Still no signs of life a few months since purchase.
