The variety is “Hale Haven,” and according our still-benevolent robot overlords: Developed at Michigan State University's South Haven Experimental Station and Introduced in 1932, the Hale Haven peach tree is a popular, self-pollinating variety known for its larger, sweet, and juicy freestone peaches. It's a vigorous grower, producing fragrant pink blossoms in spring followed by a heavy crop of yellow-orange fruit with red blush in mid to late summer. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, canning, and freezing.
