    Harrow Diamond Peaches

    Published: Jul 29, 2011 · Modified: Jan 17, 2024 by Eric Samuelson

    Learn all about the Harrow Diamond peach? Is it worth buying or are there better peaches out there?

    What is a Harrow Diamond Peach? This peach is an early season variety that is considered a semi-clingstone peach. That means some year the pit will come off easily and other years it will still cling to the flesh. It is a juicy peach with plenty of acid.

    Time to review my first Michigan grown peaches of the season. The variety is Harrow Diamond. It was developed at a breeding program in Harrow, Ontario. The same place as the Canadian Harmony and of course the Harrow Beauty.

    This peach is a semi-clingstone, which means unless the peach is really ripe, some flesh will probably still cling to the pit. This early season peach ripens on average 18 days before the popular Red Haven.

    Some peaches will actually have red inside the flesh. Check out this picture below. You can also see that I was able to get the peach in half but still some of the flesh it sticking to the pit.

    ⭐ Review

    Here is what I think of this peach variety on a scale of 1-10.

    Acidity8
    Peach Flavor6
    Sweetness5
    Juiciness7

    This peach was definitely on the acidic side. It has a good flavor and is pretty juicy. It left a little juice in the bottom of my bowl. Not the sweetest peach in the world. I needed a bit of sugar to balance it out (also adding honey to peaches is a delicious option).

    This could be used for baking. Some people do prefer clingstone peaches for canning because they tend to be more firm but they are more work since it's harder to get the pit completely removed.
