White Hale Peach is a deciduous tree primarily grown for its heavy crop of large freestone ready for harvest in mid season. A beautiful show of fragrant pink flowers bloom in mid spring and give way to the blushed fruits with juicy white flesh that is very sweet with hints of floral. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. White Hale is a self pollinator with a low 300-400 hours chill requirement.
