Canadian Harmony peach
The Canadian Harmony Peach is a cold-hardy, freestone variety introduced in Ontario in 1968. Known for its large, round yellow fruit with a crimson blush, this peach ripens in mid-to-late August, about two weeks after Redhaven. Its firm, golden flesh is slow to brown, making it excellent for fresh eating, salads, freezing, and canning. With a perfect balance of juiciness, sweetness, and acidity, Canadian Harmony delivers exceptional flavor and versatility.
This variety thrives in the Great Lakes region and is valued for its vigorous growth, reliable productivity, and moderate resistance to bacterial spot. It requires approximately 750 chill hours and is self-pollinating, making it a dependable choice for both home orchards and educational plantings.
