Peach Tree - Texstar

The Texstar Peach Tree is a flavorful, early-ripening peach variety developed for Southern growers seeking excellent taste, reliable yield, and disease resistance. Producing large, freestone peaches with bright yellow skin and red blush, Texstar is known for its rich, sweet flavor and firm texture—perfect for eating fresh, canning, or baking. With beautiful pink spring blossoms and a manageable size, it’s both ornamental and highly productive, making it an ideal choice for backyard orchards or edible gardens in warmer climates.

Growth Rate and Mature Size

Growth Rate: Texstar Peach grows at a fast rate under warm conditions, often reaching fruit-bearing maturity in 2–3 years. With regular care and proper pruning, it establishes quickly and begins producing consistently.

Mature Size: Grows to 12–15 feet tall and 12–15 feet wide. Its naturally rounded form and modest size make it easy to harvest and maintain in home landscapes or compact orchard layouts.

Watering and Sunlight

Watering: Requires consistent moisture during the growing and fruiting seasons. Water deeply once or twice a week, especially during dry spells or periods of active fruit development. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage.

Sunlight: Needs full sun for optimal growth and fruit production. Aim for 8+ hours of sunlight daily. Texstar performs best in sunny, warm environments with proper air circulation to reduce disease risk.
