Description

Prunus persica 'J.H. Hale' is a self-fertile, vigorous, and productive variety. It bears large, reddish-orange round peaches (up to 500g) with dark red tones. Its yellow flesh is firm, melting, and juicy. These fruits are ideal fresh or in pastries. It will produce better fruits at altitudes above 500m (1640ft). This variety is resistant to insect attacks. However, it is important to be vigilant against cold and drought. Harvest takes place when the fruit is ripe, late in August and September. This tree is from organic agriculture.

 

Prunus persica was believed to originate from Persia, hence the species name "persica". In reality, all cultivated forms originate from northern China. Its appearance in Europe occurred in the 6th century and experienced significant development in the 19th century. From there, numerous selections aimed at improving the fruit's taste qualities took place. 'J.H. Hale' originated in the USA, from a chance sowing carried out by J.H. Hale, which gave it its name.

Like many fruit trees, 'J.H. Hale' appreciates light, rich, and deep soils. It does not tolerate excess water or heavy and compact soils well. A sunny location sheltered from the wind will help with fruiting, which can sometimes be irregular, and compensate for its sensitivity to cold. Summer watering during drought will also be necessary.

It is a vigorous tree with an upright habit. Its tall trunk bears many vertically growing branches, giving it an elegant and slender silhouette. Its deciduous foliage is a vibrant green and emits a slight almond scent. Its leaves are long, measuring 8 to 15cm (3 to 6in) in length and 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) in width, with short petioles.

Its early pink flowering occurs in mid-March. The leaves appear at the same time, which will protect the flowers. The flowers are hermaphroditic and self-fertile. However, the presence of another peach tree will improve fruiting.

Fruit production results in round fruits with yellow streaks on a red background. They have fine-grained, firm, quite juicy, and tasty flesh.

This tree does not require too much maintenance and tolerates pruning well.

Peaches can be enjoyed raw, cooked, flambéed, glazed, or deglazed. They work well in both sweet and savoury dishes. They pair well with wine and certain meats, such as duck. They can be found in numerous recipes, including jams, compotes, and pastries.

 

For transportation reasons, our tallest scions may be pruned before shipment. They are suitable for all common training sizes: cordons, espaliers, goblets, half-standards, and low standards, except for the formation of tall standards. If you would like more information or advice on the training of your fruit trees, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Planting and care

Ideally, plant from October to December. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the day, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water to moisten the entire root ball by capillarity. Add compost to the bottom of the hole. Place the tree in the hole and fill with a mixture of soil and compost. Gently pack around the base of the tree as you fill, ensuring that the roots are in close contact with the soil. The root ball should be completely covered. Water generously.

This variety has a semi-pivot root system. It thrives in fairly deep soils. It also prefers light and well-drained soil.

Care

Pruning instructions Shape the tree in the following spring after planting. Only keep the branches that will form the tree's framework (about 5 branches). Fruits appear on one-year-old branches. Wood that has borne fruits will not reproduce. For fruiting pruning, prune the branches that have already borne fruits to 2 buds above the future branching. Remove the crossing branches in the centre and shorten the longer ones that extend outward to maintain a balanced silhouette.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
Pruning time January to February, November to December
