The Gloria™ peach offers a unique combination of qualities; it is exceptionally attractive and extremely firm, with a sweet, low-acid flavor. The fruit is large, highly colored (60 to 90% scarlet red over orange-yellow), with bright orange freestone flesh. Harvest is about four weeks after Redhaven, overlapping Cresthaven. The tree is late-blooming, winter hardy and very productive. Gloria™ has a low susceptibility to bacterial leaf spot.
