Glohaven Peach is a fruiting deciduous tree primarily grown for its heavy crop of freestone peaches ready for harvest in midsummer. Lovely clusters of fragrant pink flowers bloom in spring. The large fruits are fuzz-free with strongly molted and red diffused skin, giving the peach an almost glowing appearance, and juicy but firm yellow flesh. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
Glohaven is self-pollinating, resistant to brown rot and leaf spot. Its lack of fuzz and resistance to browning make it good for canning. It that fruits by its second to fourth year, and has a chill requirement of 850 hours.
