Sentry
An introduction from the USDA peach breeding program at Beltsville, Maryland. Sentry is a firm, highly colored, semi-freestone peach with outstanding size for an early-season variety. The tree is vigorous and very resistant to bacterial spot. Sentry is not recommended in regions where winter fruit bud injury is common.

About Rootstock
Our peach and nectarine trees are grown on industry standard Bailey rootstock. If we need to purchase peach trees to supplement our own inventory, these trees are typically grown on Lovell rootstock. For a traditional, open center planting we recommend spacing the trees 12-14’ in row and 20’ between rows. For perpendicular V training, the recommended spacing is 6’ in row and 20’ feet between rows.
