A very hardy and prolific peach!
The Blushingstar® Peach tree is a descendant of a “Fayette” and “Newhaven” cross. This “star” is a late-season peach tree that bears beautiful, firm, free-stone white peaches. The flesh of these white peaches have a hint of brilliant red coloring near the pit.
Blushingstar® peaches have a unique, sweet flavor and the fruit resists browning when sliced, ideal for canning. The fruit has excellent shipping and storage qualities, making it a homesteader’s favorite!
One of heaviest producers, this easy to care for fruit tree is disease-resistant to bacterial spot. Blushingstar is a cold-hardy tree that can handle cooler climates. Plant this late-season peach and you’ll soon be harvesting your own fruit that ripens in August!

Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You’ll get fruit with only one plant!
How do I find my Hardiness Zone?
Canada’s Plant Hardiness Zones will tell you which plants will do well in your particular climate. Each zone is determined by the lowest average winter temperature recorded in a given area. Hardiness Zone information is included on all tree and plant product pages, so you know instantly whether a certain plant is likely to succeed where you live. Natural Resources Canada provides helpful options to find your zone:

its a little too early to judge but the tree is growing.
Francis Stewart –
Mine died after its second season. it was extra sad because it started bearing earlier than expected and I assumed it would bear a little more each year. I think some kind of disease got to most of my garden last year because besides the peach a few other things I bought with it died also. ??
Edward Beldowicz –
The tree didn’t survive it’s first growing season.I am waiting go see if it is not dead.No growth at this time.Still too early go tell, but I don’t think it survived.Keep in mind your waranty.
Matt Shiveley –
Had these little guys for 3 months and there’s barely any growth. They have little buds on the trunk but that’s it. The trees aren’t dry, so I’ll keep watching them. I’ll update this when I know for sure its growing or not.

My peach trees from Stark Brothers were planted one year ago and they are showing vigorous growth now. Both had buds this year and it appears fruit will form. When it comes to fruit trees I always look to purchase from Starks first. Write your review here. It must be at least 50 characters long.

Did not leaf out this spring – planted in fall and nothing!!!!!!!
Jane Trujillo –
I’ve had this tree at least a year now. No fruits yet, but it bloomed this spring. Lots of new growth already this year. I live in the desert Southwest and this tree survived last summer – so I have high hopes!
Susana Chow –
My Blushingstar Peach is dead even before the winter. I think the tree size is too small.
Eric Mcgregor –
I planted this peach tree in Spring of 2017 so it is still a fairly young tree and not producing fruit yet. However, it is a fast growing and I have had no problems with is even after pruning it hard this fall. It bounced back even stronger and I may get a few fruit this year. Very excited to taste it and with little to no spray I am very pleased with the outcome. I am in zone 8a.
Roger Williams –
The peach tree did not make it thru the winter, I live in Wisconsin zone 4B. very disappointed.
