Description

The JH Hale peach tree is a heritage variety renowned for its exceptional flavor, large size, and versatility. This freestone peach features vibrant golden-yellow skin accented by a crimson blush, giving it a picture-perfect appearance. The dense and sweet flesh is ideal for fresh eating, baking, and canning, making it a favorite among home orchardists and commercial growers alike. JH Hale peaches have an intensely aromatic quality that enhances their appeal. This variety is unique in requiring a pollinator to produce fruit, making it an excellent partner for other peach varieties like Elberta or Red Haven. Thriving in regions with cold winters, JH Hale requires ample chill hours and prefers full sun and well-draining soil for optimal growth. With its mid-season harvest, this tree extends your peach season and ensures a consistent yield of high-quality fruit. Whether you re preserving summer flavors or savoring the fruit fresh off the tree, the JH Hale peach delivers unparalleled satisfaction.
