Description

Prunus persica 'O'Henry' is a highly regarded, vigorous deciduous peach tree prized for its large, richly flavored fruit and excellent disease resistance. This late-season variety produces showy pink blossoms in spring, followed by large, fuzzy-skinned peaches with a bright yellow background and a red blush. The yellow flesh is freestone, firm, and exceptionally flavorful, ripening in late summer (early August in many regions). With a chill requirement of 750 hours, it is self-fruitful and a reliable, heavy producer. Its notable resistance to peach leaf curl makes it an outstanding choice for home orchards, fresh eating, canning, and baking.
