Coralstar® Peach Tree

Coralstar® Peach Tree Overview

The Coralstar® peach tree produces beautiful, aromatic peaches with a tinge of coral in their flesh. In fact they come from the “Stellar” series and have some resistance to bacterial leaf spot and canker. Additionally it has freestone peaches which have flesh that separate easily from the pit compared to clingstones which cling to the pit.

Just like some other peach trees, the Coralstar® peach tree prefers fertile, loamy, well-draining soils. It can grow well in hardiness zones 5-8. Moreover these peaches will ripen in late August – early September. When they flower, they will decorate the landscape with a bouquet of aromatic, pink blossoms. However be sure to thin the fruits aggressively. This will allow the peaches to grow to their optimal size and quality.
