Stark® EarliGlo™ Peach Tree

Stark® EarliGlo™ Peach is a Stark Bro’s Exclusive bred from the same line as Redhaven, the most widely planted peach variety in North America, inheriting its cold hardiness and reliable production character in a variety that ripens mid-July, ahead of Redhaven’s late July window. The bright red, medium-to-large freestone fruit is firm, attractive, and flavorful, opening the peach season with a confident early harvest that gives gardeners in Zones 5-8 fresh peaches when most other varieties are still weeks away. Very winter hardy for confident planting in colder areas. Self-pollinating, bears in 2-4 years.

Redhaven Heritage — Earlier, Cold-Hardy, and Proven

Redhaven’s dominance in commercial and home peach planting for over 70 years reflects consistent quality that growers keep coming back to: reliable crops of firm, attractive, freestone fruit from a cold-hardy tree. EarliGlo shares that heritage while moving the harvest window earlier into mid-July, extending the fresh peach season for home orchardists who want to capture the full summer peach window. For gardens in Zones 5-8 where cold hardiness matters, EarliGlo brings Redhaven-family reliability with earlier-season timing.

Mid-July Ripening — Opens the Peach Season Early

The mid-July harvest arrives ahead of most mid-season peach varieties, giving home orchardists fresh peaches at the opening of the main peach season. For succession planters who want to extend the fresh peach harvest from early summer through early fall, EarliGlo is the natural early-season companion to Redhaven, Hale Haven, and later-ripening varieties. The bright red skin and firm, freestone flesh make it as attractive for fresh eating as it is for canning and freezing.

Very Winter Hardy — Confident Planting in Colder Areas

The exceptional winter hardiness makes EarliGlo a dependable choice for Zone 5 gardeners and cooler Zone 6 locations where less hardy peach varieties can suffer winter damage to flower buds and reduce annual crops. That cold hardiness, combined with the self-pollinating habit and reliable production, makes it one of the more genuinely low-risk peach investments for northern home orchardists.
