Harrow Diamond Peach on Nemaguard (Spring 2025)
You are viewing a tree that will ship in Spring 2025. You can also find trees for Spring 2024.
An outstanding, reliable, disease-resistant early peach.
Harrow Diamond is a tree of moderate vigor with an open-spreading habit and wide crotch angles. It is cold hardy and resistant to bacterial spot, brown rot, and perennial canker, making it an excellent choice for the home gardener. It has some susceptibility to peach-leaf curl. This tree is self-fertile and a pollenizer is not required.
This is the first really good peach to ripen at Geneva, NY. About 18 days before Redhaven, this peach is a yellow-fleshed freestone. The fruit is medium sized, blushed bright red over yellow, sweet, and very juicy. Harrow Diamond was the 16th variety developed at the Ontario breeding program by Dr. R. Layne. It was released in 1984, and by 1999 it had become one of the most widely grown commercial varieties in the area.
