Dounut(Stark Saturn) Peach
Peach ‘Stark Saturn’
The Stark Saturn Donut Peach is a delightful conversation starter and a uniquely enjoyable eating experience. This distinctive variety bears flattened, doughnut-shaped fruit with a sunken center, making it a favorite for kids and adults alike. Its white flesh is exceptionally sweet, low in acid, and clings effortlessly to the freestone pit. The tree puts on a lovely spring show of pink blossoms and reliably produces a generous crop of these unusual, snack-sized peaches that are perfect for fresh eating, requiring no peeling thanks to their thin, tender skin.
