Description Salish Summer (also known as Q 1-8) is prized for one simple reason: it delivers high-quality peaches earlier than most varieties, extending the peach season in a meaningful way. Developed in the Pacific Northwest, this variety is well adapted to regions with cooler springs and moderate summers. The fruit ripens early with white flesh, a light red blush, and a sweet, low-acid peach flavor that’s especially refreshing when eaten fresh. Overview Early-season yellow peach with sweet, juicy flavor. Semi-freestone fruit—easy to enjoy fresh. Ripens earlier than many standard peach varieties. Productive and well-suited to cooler spring climates. Self-fertile—no pollination partner required.
