The TexStar Peach Tree, developed by the Texas A&M breeding program, is a frost-hardy variety designed to thrive in the mild winters of Texas and similar climates. In early spring, it bursts into beautiful pink blooms, followed by an abundant harvest of large, red-blushed peaches that ripen in early June.
The peaches feature firm, yellow flesh with a delicate blush near the center, offering a deliciously sweet flavor that’s perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserving.
Requiring just 450-600 chill hours, this low-maintenance, self-fruiting tree is an excellent choice for home orchards, providing consistent and reliable harvests year after year.

Pruning | Prune peach trees in late winter by removing dead wood, thinning the center for airflow, shortening side branches to 3-4 buds, and cutting away suckers to encourage healthy growth and fruiting. Once mature, peaches should be pruned yearly for best fruit production. |
Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
