Veteran Peach, a 1928 Canadian hybrid of Early Elberta, features robust pale pink blossoms that resist frost even when fully bloomed. This vigorous, self-fertile tree thrives in the Pacific Northwest, consistently producing abundant medium-to-large yellow fruits with a gentle red blush. Its yellow freestone flesh is slightly coarse and peels easily, ideal for canning, drying, and freezing. Veteran Peach stands out as one of the most reliable and versatile peach varieties available.
