Description
White Lady Peach is a fruiting deciduous tree with a rounded crown grown for its early season free-stone fruit. These velvety pink-red flushed fruits have creamy white flesh that is exceptionally sweet and low in acidity. In spring, fragrant blooms of dark pink flowers hug the bare branches attracting butterflies. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. White Lady is a self pollinator but requires 750-950 chill hours.
