Loring Peach Tree

Loring Peach is a large, round, yellow-fleshed freestone renowned for its sweetness, and it does it all: delicious fresh, and excellent for canning, preserves, and any kind of processing. Bred in 1946 at the State Fruit Experiment Station in Mountain Grove, Missouri, as a cross of ‘Frank’ x ‘Halehaven’, it has earned its place in home orchards for decades. The medium-to-large peaches ripen in August, and the freestone pit comes out easily, which makes quick work of a big batch. Pink spring blooms. Self-pollinating, bears in 2-4 years.

Sweet, Large, and Round: Excellent Fresh or Processed

Loring is known for its delectable sweetness. The large, round, yellow-fleshed fruit is a pleasure to eat fresh, and it is just as good when you want to process a harvest, with a moderately firm texture that holds up well for canning and preserves.

Freestone for Easy Canning and Preserves

Because Loring peaches are freestone, the pit separates easily from the flesh. That makes it simple to halve and slice peaches in quantity, whether you are filling jars, making preserves, or prepping fruit for the freezer.

Bred in Missouri in 1946

Loring comes from a long Missouri tradition of fruit breeding. It was developed at the State Fruit Experiment Station in Mountain Grove, as a hybrid of ‘Frank’ and ‘Halehaven.’ Today, it remains a customer favorite for good reason.
