One of the best canning peaches! This large fruit is excellent for fresh-eating and canning a breeze, so you can enjoy homegrown peaches all year round. Fruit has an attractive yellow skin blushed with a red cheek and firm, juicy flesh complete with a rich sweet taste. Tree is reliably productive. Freestone. Ripens in early September. Self-pollinating.
The 'Akebono' creates a spectacular show with masses of fragrant, double-bloomed, white to pink flowers. It has a spreading, arching crown and will reach 25-30' tall and wide. Glossy, dark green leaves turn bright yellow in fall.
