Saturn Peach

Prunus persica 'Stark Saturn'

Whether they are called Donut, Peento, Saucer, Pan Tao, Bagel or Saturn, the unique shape of this peach echos the original wild peaches first cultivated in ancient China. These fun throwbacks are shaped like a doughnut, with a pit where the hole should be. Saturn, patent #5123, is an early-blooming tree with large, showy, double pink, self-fertile flowers - and is best planted where spring weather is clear and consistent. At 300 chill hours, this is a great choice for our Southern growers! The very sweet, yellow fruit has melting white flesh.
