About O'Henry
O'Henry is a large, yellow-fleshed freestone peach with deep red blush and rich flavor. It is a late-season cultivar that needs a long enough growing season to finish well.
Growing O'Henry Peach
O'Henry is self-fertile and needs sufficient winter chill plus a warm season for dependable ripening. Thin the crop and harvest only after the green background color has changed to yellow and flesh near the stem yields slightly.
