Glohaven Peach Tree

Description

Description

Glohaven is the canning peach that home canners reach for — large, freestone, with fuzzless skin and non-browning yellow flesh that makes every jar look as good as it tastes. The 80% mottled red over yellow-green skin is visually striking at harvest, and the firm, flavorful yellow flesh with its fuzzless surface is outstanding not just for canning but for fresh eating and freezing where the non-browning quality keeps sliced fruit looking appetizing far longer than typical peach varieties. Resistant to bacterial spot, vigorous with hardy buds, fruit hangs well on the tree, and particularly well-suited to western and Midwestern growing conditions. Self-pollinating, August ripening in Zones 5–8.

Thinning to one fruit every 6–8 inches after fruit set encourages remaining fruit to develop to full size and peak quality.

Non-Browning, Fuzzless — The Canner’s Peach

The non-browning yellow flesh is Glohaven’s most practically valuable kitchen quality. Most peach flesh begins to oxidize and brown quickly after cutting — Glohaven’s holds its attractive yellow color significantly longer, keeping sliced peaches looking fresh for salads and platters and producing cleaner, more attractively colored canned peaches and preserves. The fuzzless skin eliminates the peach-fuzz handling challenge entirely, making every stage of processing more pleasant and straightforward.

80% Mottled Red — Beautiful at Harvest

The 80% mottled red over yellow-green skin coloring makes Glohaven one of the most visually attractive peaches at harvest — a rich, multicolored pattern that reflects the thorough ripening and flavor development underneath. The fruit hangs well on the tree without premature drop, giving growers flexibility in harvest timing rather than forcing an immediate rush once the first fruit colors up.

Bacterial Spot Resistant — Vigorous With Hardy Buds

Glohaven’s resistance to bacterial spot supports cleaner foliage and more consistently attractive fruit through the growing season. Hardy buds and vigorous growth add to the reliable annual August production that makes it a consistent performer across the western and Midwestern states where it’s been trusted for decades.
