Description
About the Blushingstar® Peach Tree
Blushingstar® Peach is a standout late-season disease resistant peach tree prized for its reliability, beauty, and exceptional eating quality. This cold-hardy, self-pollinating fruit tree is a heavy bearer, producing generous harvests of attractive peaches year after year with minimal fuss.
The fruit features firm, creamy white flesh with a sweet, well-balanced flavor and striking red coloring near the pit. Blushingstar® peaches resist browning when sliced, making them ideal for fresh eating, desserts, and entertaining. Their firmness also gives them excellent storage and shipping qualities compared to many white-fleshed peaches.
As a disease resistant peach tree, Blushingstar® shows strong resistance to bacterial spot, helping it perform well in a wide range of climates and making it an excellent choice for home growers seeking an easy-care peach. The freestone fruit ripens in mid-August, extending the harvest season beyond earlier varieties.
Introduced in the mid-1990s and descended from Fayette and Newhaven, Blushingstar® combines modern disease resistance with classic peach flavor in a dependable, productive tree.
