Starfire® Peach Tree
The Starfire® peach tree has become a favorite freestone peach of commercial growers not only because of its vigor, but its excellent juicy and nectar sweet taste. These large and beautiful fruits will ripen five days after Redhaven and are perfect for deserts, canning, and freezing. Not only do they keep well, but they are also resistant to bacterial spot and canker.
General Tree Height/Caliper: Most of our fruit trees (apple, peach, apricot, plum, pear, nectarine, quince, and cherry) are grafted/budded and are 4-6' tall with a caliper/diameter of about 1/4-3/4". Most have more than 5' height and 1/2" diameter. The other trees are seedlings, such as pawpaw, mulberry, persimmon, shade, berry, and flowering trees which range from 18-36" tall.

Starfire® Peach Tree Overview
The Starfire® peach tree has become a favorite freestone peach of commercial growers not only because of its vigor, but also its excellent juicy and nectar sweet taste. These large and beautiful fruits will ripen five days after Redhaven and are perfect for deserts, canning, and freezing. When you harvest them, the fruit will also keep well and is non-browning. Fortunately, these trees are also resistant to bacterial spot and canker so you won’t need to worry about those diseases! Additionally, since the Starfire® peach tree is so vigorous and heavy cropping, it will need be thinned. If you would like more information on how to plant and grow this tree, see our guides.
