Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This fantastic peach is the ideal choice for climates having harsh cold winters and late springs. This late-blooming cultivar misses late-frosts and is cold hardier than other peaches. Beautiful, deep-pink spring blossoms become honeyed, flavorful, yellow, freestone peaches. These peaches harvest 2-3 weeks before Elberta and bear at 2-4 years of age on a 15-20' tree. This wonderful 1964 variety hails from New Hampshire; self-fertile. S/M
