Great tree nice to have it back
Stark's Early White Giant gave me years of the best tasting early giant white peaches until like all peach trees it finally stopped producing. I was very happy when it again became available and planted a new one in late winter which is already taking off . In our area where fungal disease is a problem , the early crop reduces the need for long season spraying

Giant White Peach
The tree I received was nice and healthy. Exactly what I would expect from Stark. It sprouted nicely and continues to grow well. It definitely has some bacterial spot resistant but it is not immune. This white peach did way better than Flavortop and Fantasia nectarine. I would say About the same as Belle of Georgia. Strictly referring to leaf spot and hole shot. I don’t seem to have any leaf curl issues when I copper spray. I have high hopes as white peaches and white nectarines are my favorite. This is supposedly big and comes in early.

An excellant peach
This is my second Early White Giant. They truly live up to the name. It is the first to ripen and, when properly pruned and thinned, gives very large fruit. The peaches are very tasty, maybe the best tasting that I have. 2 seasons ago we had a lot of rain and the other peaches were watery. Not this one. The fruit that year was definitely the best tasting of all.

Fine
Planted in the spring of 2018. Grew 12-18" through the year. Did not lose their leaves until temps were well into the 20's.

I haven't tasted one of these, and won't for two or three years, but the trees seem vigorous and they handled transplant shock well.

beautiful tree
I planted this tree last fall. This tree was in great shape when it arrived , and has sprouted out fully this spring. It is to young too bear fruit but I have no doubt that it will.
