  1. Bonnie Renn

    I purchased and planted 2 peach trees from Stark last year. About a week ago, I noticed that one of the trees actually has a peach on it! The trees are only 4 feet tall and has a peach already. I was already happy with the way they look. They are beautiful trees with green and red leaves. They are extremely healthy also. I’m very happy with the way these trees have turned out!

  2. David Forrai

    The tree looked fairly butchered up when it arrived. I planted immediately and watered regularly. It sprouted leaves before going dormant over Winter, then never returned to life.

  3. Sam Sam

    it died so I don’t have anything to say really. I think it would have been great if it survived.

  4. Jason Becker

    Unfortunately my apple tree was snapped off from a wind storm but the peach tree is growing nice! Hopefully next year we’ll get peaches from it, this is year 3 for us.

  5. Daniel French

    Stark bros. honored my request for a replacement whip when one of the two peach trees I bought failed. They did not even so much as ask about my planting method. I’m happy to report that the replacement is leafing out and thriving.. I’ll shop here again, thanks..Dan in Connecticut

  6. Peggy Beckel

    when my tree came was not sure if it would grow all I got was a stick. Then I planted it and it started to grow. And 1 year later I got peaches on it. I picked all the buds off because branches are small but one so I will see what beautiful fruit will grow on it next year. Thank you will be buying again from you.

  7. Ned Augustyniak

    the tree is just starting it’s second year of growth. it is very healthy and vigorous I am extremely pleased

  8. Patrick Seburn

    This peach has fantastic flavor for an early ripening peach. Not a super vigorous grower. If I could only have two peaches that Stark sells it would be GaLa and Carolina Belle (white).

  9. Will Evans

    Bought three of these so they could cross pollinate. Two of them died within two months. The third is surviving and growing well. Not sure I will replace the two that died with peaches…may go for some apple trees that seem to grow well here.

  10. Benito Llanda

    Tree did not flourish eben after careful planting and following all required care out of three plants i bought only one survive and two died
