Description

At last, here’s a late-ripening, freestone peach whose flavor matches the best of the mid-season ripeners. This is a firm, medium-to-large peach, as juicy as you could ever want. This cold-hardy tree is also resistant to bacterial leaf spot, so it will produce dependably for you for years and years. Harvest early September. Self-pollinating.

Outstanding canning peach. Very flavorful, firm flesh, looks pretty in jar and on plates.

It is an encore tree

I selected the Stark Encore Peach Tree because it is a late harvest peach and I already have a tree ripening in July. This variety will prolong my fresh peach season.

Stark Encore Peach
Stark Encore Peach made it through the winter & is doing great.

It almost died and did not survive the winter in southwest Michigan except for a small Regrowth. Therefore I do not think that I would recommend this peach perhaps something that was a year or two older but this one was not hard enough to survive in the fruit belt
