The J.H. Hale peach, also known as Hale Haven peach, is a popular variety of peach known for its large size, firm texture, and sweet flavor. This freestone peach has a beautiful red blush over a yellow background and is typically ripe for harvest in mid to late summer. The J.H. Hale peach is widely favored for fresh eating, canning, and baking due to its juicy and aromatic flesh. It is a self-pollinating tree that requires full sun and well-drained soil to thrive, making it a great choice for home orchards and commercial production alike.
