J H Hale – Peach is a heritage variety that produces heavy crops of exceptionally large fruit with yellow flesh and a delightfully full flavour.
Originated in America in 1912, the J.H. Hale peach is still considered one of the finest flavoured yellow-fleshed, freestone peaches (the flesh comes away from the stone easily).
The fruit are extremely large, round and uniform, with smooth, almost furless skin, with a firm, fine-grained flesh free from stringiness.
Unlike most peach trees, the J.H. Hale variety cannot pollinate itself so it requires another peach tree close by for pollination.
