Peach trees shipped about 3 to 4 feet tall
O'Henry is a popular fresh market peach now available for home planting. The yellow fleshed freestones are large and firm with full red skin. Get your peach buckets and harvest gear ready early to mid August, soon to be enjoying your peaches and their superb flavor. The O'Henry is a strong, vigorous tree that bears heavy, and is self fertile, so no need for a pollinator. This peach variety needs 750 hours chilling, so one to consider for those in moderate to pronounced winter areas. Peaches good for freezing. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “Plant 3 or 4 trees in the space of 1. Fruit trees are planted for the purpose of harvesting the reward of incredibly delicious tree ripened fruit. Why not extend this pleasure from 2-3 weeks to 10 to 12 weeks?” How is that done you ask? Read further…
The trees should be planted in a triangle (or box for 4) 24-30 inches apart and at a slight outward angle. The center limbs are pruned so that crossing limbs are removed. Otherwise, normal care is all that is necessary.
Pick a combination of varieties that are similar in growth habit and foliage texture. Varieties can be selected for mild winter areas, traditional fruit growing areas, mountains or deserts. Why not have fruit all summer long?
Apples….red, green and yellow, or early, mid and late season. Apricots...June, July and August ripening. Cherries...early June ripening, mid June ripening and a sweet pollinator. Plums...red meat, purple meat and yellow meat.... I think you get the picture. Just have fun!
