Prunus persica 'White Lady'

White Lady Peach

White Lady Peach bears large fruit with a red blush over pale skin and firm white flesh. Its low-acid sweetness and freestone texture suit fresh eating, with the crop also useful for preserving.

Pink spring flowers precede the early-season harvest. The cultivar has a moderate to high chilling need, around 800–950 hours depending on conditions.

Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. White Lady is self-fertile; pruning and rootstock influence the tree's final size.
