Q-1-8 White Peach
Peach ‘Q-1-8 White’
Prunus persica 'Q-1-8' is a standout white peach variety prized for its exceptional resistance to peach leaf curl, a devastating fungal disease that plagues many peach trees in humid climates. Tested extensively at the Washington State University research station in Mt. Vernon, this variety has proven its reliability in challenging conditions. The fruit is white-fleshed and semi-freestone, described as sweet and juicy like the classic Babcock peach, but with a more sprightly, complex flavor. It produces showy blossoms in spring and ripens in mid to late July in Central California. With a chill requirement of 700-800 hours and self-fruitful habit, it is an outstanding choice for home orchards seeking a disease-resistant, flavorful white peach.
