White Hale Peach Tree

For a different look in a peach, grow the White Hale Peach Tree. The delicious flesh of this clingstone variety isn’t the typical yellow, but instead it’s pristine white, with red highlights around the stone. Sweet, delicious, juicy and firm yet melting, the change of color doesn’t change the goodness at all. Some people prefer the slight tart edge of white peaches, and variety is the spice of life, right? With good cold resistance and vigorous growth, you will see your tree add 3 feet a year when young, soon reaching 15 feet tall and wide. Within a couple of years of planting you will be harvesting large, beautiful peaches with a yellow skin and a bright red blush. This variety is self-fertile, so you only need one tree to harvest a full crop – it’s the perfect tree for a smaller garden where space is limited, or where you already have a well-planted garden with few spaces left for new trees.

• A delicious white-fleshed peach with a floral fragrance
• Fruit has pale yellow skin with bright red blushes
• Attractive pink flowers in spring decorate the bare branches of your tree
• A self-fertile variety that sets a good crop all on its own
• Ripens in July and early August, just when you want summer peaches

Grow the White Hale Peach Tree in a sheltered spot in full sun. In cold zones don’t plant in a low-lying area or you may encounter late spring frosts. Neutral to acidic soil is best, well-drained and fertile, but for garden crops most soils that aren’t wet will be just fine. Don’t let your tree become too dry when it is developing the fruit. Prune while still dormant, from an early age, to develop a vase-shaped tree with an open center. Reduce last-year’s stems by about half to encourage flowering, and thin out your crop to one fruit per cluster, while they are still small, or you will have a big harvest of small, inferior fruits.
