--O'HENRY-- Discontinued: We will no longer be carrying peach trees. Please visit Trees of Antiquity to buy peach and other fruit trees. O'Henry is a large yellow freestone with attractive red skin. The superb flavor is well-suited for fresh eating or freezing. O'Henry is a strong, vigorous, heavy-bearing tree making it a popular fresh market peach. Self-fruitful. A vigorous tree requires regular pruning and thinning. Needs fertile, well-drained soils. Tend to bloom early and may be difficult to crop in late frost areas. Plant several varieties for continued supply, as ripe fruit does not store well. By pruning, you can keep your tree at any height. Harvest 4-5th year. Approximate harvest period (for Central CA): August. USDA Zone 5-9, Requires 750 chill hours to set fruit. Protect when temperatures fall below -20°F.

A Bare root fruit tree is a 2-3 year old fruit tree which has been dormant for the winter. It is delivered to you without soil. The best time to plant bare root fruit trees is the end of the winter season. This gives your tree time to acclimate to it's environment before the warmth of spring comes.

Trunk size may vary slightly based on availability during the season. Average trunk size is 1/2"-5/8". All of our bare root fruit trees will come pruned so that the reduced root mass is balanced with the canopy to maximize grower success. Our bare root fruit trees are headed back to fit in the 60" tall box that they will ship in. Branches are seldom removed during this process unless dead or damaged and are only reduced to fit the tree in the box so that the grower can decide what branches to keep or remove. This is done in a way that will allow the home grower to continue to grow the tree as a central leader or prune the tree to an open center. The tree will be shipped dormant and bare-rooted.
