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:

Carl Martin –
This tree arrived in good condition. It was nothing but a twig. I put it in the ground and a month later it took off growing. I know it will be a couple years before fruit, but I’m happy with the growth thus far.
Mike Laska –
I planted this in southeast Minnesota and they started very slow. I did get some growth towards the end of the 2017 season. It has bad winter die back the winter of 2017/2018. It has had good growth this season (2018). I will need to see what happens this winter with hopefully more hardened off summer growth.
Michael Miller –
My Blushingstar peach didn’t make it. This is the second peach tree that I have bought from Starkbros that has died.
John Muller –
did not grow… stark said it was from an unusually wet spring… so another wasted season
Diana L Koenig –
My Blushingstar Peach is still in a tub. It had 3 peaches on it last year, and has 6 on it now. Like most white fleshed peaches, the flavor was wonderful.
Adam Mccormack –
i would give a zero if I could. It looks like a strong stick planted in the ground never produced one leaf.
