Description

Prunus persica 'Galaxy'

In this new world of donut style peaches the Galaxy is the heavy hitter. The largest of the white donut peaches, this fruit is packed with great flavor. With an almost perfect shape the Cream with blushed red fruit is suspended in the tree like flying saucers. But the flavor of the Galaxy is truly the primary feature. Juicy sweet almost custard like flavor. An introduction from the USDA in the San Joaquin valley in California, the fruit averages 5 to 6oz and ripens mid season. Pair this up with other donut style peaches and nectarines to have a 6 moth successive harvest of these ever unique tasty pieces of fruit. Galaxy peach trees are vigorous and productive, but rather small so keeping them at a reasonable height below 10 feet is easy with summer pruning. The juicy white freestone fruit is good for fresh eating, canning or freezing with taste that's out of this world!

Planting & Care

Peaches prefer light, well-drained soil. If poor drainage is suspected, consider mounding 18 to 24 inches high by 4 feet wide or build a raised bed of 12 to 18 inches high and 3 feet square. Use native soil and plant directly into the mound or raised bed. Mulching helps retain moisture and stabilize the mound and cool the soil temperature. Mulch to 3 to 4 inches deep and 3 to 4 feet outside the canopy. Peaches grow best in full sun in a location where they get at least 8 hours of direct sunlight. avoid areas where cold air or frost settle. Choose a protected location that is sheltered from wind. Water regularly, to get established, during the first year. Peach trees are very productive and will grow to 20' tall if you let them. Pruning in the summer to control the height of your tree. Below 10 feet is recommended to simplify maintenance and harvesting.
