Savor the taste of one of the highest-rated peaches in the world with the O'Henry Peach (Prunus persica 'O'Henry'). This legendary freestone variety is a favorite among home gardeners and farmers' market enthusiasts for its exceptional flavor and striking appearance. In early spring, the tree provides a lovely ornamental display, becoming smothered in fragrant, bright pink blossoms that attract pollinators. As summer reaches its peak, it produces large, firm fruit with golden-yellow skin and a deep, crimson-red blush.
The O'Henry is particularly prized for its "long hang time," meaning the fruit stays firm on the tree longer than most varieties, allowing for a flexible harvest window from late August into September. Its yellow flesh is streaked with red near the pit and offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tang, making it ideal for fresh eating, baking, canning, or freezing. This self-fertile, vigorous grower is a reliable producer that brings both backyard beauty and a gourmet harvest to your landscape.
