Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Description

Fruit

Medium, round fruit with bright red blush over a yellow ground; golden, firm, juicy flesh that separates cleanly from the stone.

Growth

Vigorous, well-branched tree, heavy-flowering with good bud hardiness.

Yield

Reliably high yields; the key parent of many modern Haven-type cultivars.

Notes

Self-fertile; the benchmark against which other peaches' ripening is timed.
