{"product_id":"ohenry-peach-tree","title":"O'Henry Peach Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eO’Henry Peach Tree is a late-summer favorite for gardeners who want large fruit with vivid color, firm texture, and a flavor that remains lively even at full sweetness. Its golden-yellow skin becomes heavily washed in crimson, creating an impressive peach that looks as polished in a harvest basket as it does on the tree. Dense yellow freestone flesh delivers abundant juice and a rich sweet-tart balance rather than one-dimensional sugar. That firmness makes O’Henry especially enjoyable sliced fresh and dependable for baking, canning, jam, and freezing. Because it ripens after many familiar midseason peaches, it also helps keep the orchard exciting when earlier crops are winding down. For shoppers who want to extend peach season without sacrificing visual appeal or traditional flavor, O’Henry offers a memorable bridge toward the end of summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO’Henry needs about 750 chill hours and grows in USDA zones 5–9. This semi-dwarf tree on Citation rootstock generally ripens from mid- to late August, with timing varying by region and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO’Henry is self-fruitful and can bear alone. Another peach with overlapping bloom may encourage pollinator activity and support fruit set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eO'Henry Peach Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large golden-yellow freestone peach with an intense crimson blush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, juicy, richly sweet, and pleasantly tangy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, baking, canning, jam, and freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid- to late August, with timing varying by region and season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 750 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fruitful; another compatible peach may support pollinator activity and fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended companions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-muir-semi-dwarf\"\u003eMuir Peach\u003c\/a\u003e for an earlier crop or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peach-fairtime-smdwf-tr\"\u003eFairtime Peach\u003c\/a\u003e to continue the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin developing fruit and maintain strong branch structure for the large crop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething special:\u003c\/strong\u003e O’Henry became a celebrated California fresh-market peach because its firmness travels well without giving up rich flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit \u0026amp; Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Semi-Dwarf BareRoot","offer_id":40614658015345,"sku":"FT140","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/FT140.jpg?v=1747080520","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/ohenry-peach-tree","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
