Peach, White Lady, Bare Root

Peach 'White Lady' (Prunus persica 'White Lady')

‘White Lady’ is a low-acid, high-flavor white-fleshed peach prized for its exceptional sweetness, smooth texture, and compact tree form. Developed for early ripening with outstanding fruit quality, this freestone peach is excellent for fresh eating, desserts, and preserving. The tree is also self-pollinating, productive, and beautifully ornamental, with showy pink blossoms in spring and a manageable size for small orchards, edible landscapes, and backyard growers.

Key Characteristics

• Super Sweet White-Fleshed Fruit
  ‘White Lady’ produces medium to large peaches with creamy white flesh, red-blushed skin, and an intensely sweet, low-acid flavor. The freestone pit makes them easy to process, and their juicy texture is ideal for fresh eating, fruit salads, and baking.
• Early Ripening with Excellent Flavor
  One of the earliest white peaches to mature, ‘White Lady’ ripens in mid to late June in most climates. Unlike many early varieties, it delivers outstanding flavor and firmness, even under challenging conditions.
• Compact Tree with Ornamental Appeal
  Reaching only 12–15 feet, ‘White Lady’ is ideal for small orchards, home gardens, or tight food forest spaces. In early spring, it bursts with showy pink blossoms, followed by dense foliage and beautiful fruit—a true multi-use tree.
• Self-Pollinating and Productive
  This variety is self-fertile, so no additional pollinator is required—though planting another peach nearby can enhance fruit set. It is known for consistent production and minimal thinning requirements.
• Best in Full Sun with Well-Drained Soil
  Like all peaches, ‘White Lady’ performs best in full sun and medium, well-drained soils. Protect from late frosts and provide good air circulation to reduce disease pressure. A layered orchard system with dynamic accumulators and mulch plants can help keep the tree vigorous and healthy.
