Hiley Peach
The Hiley, or Hiley Belle, is an early white-fleshed freestone peach that became a leading commercial variety in Georgia in the early twentieth century. Pale and red-blushed with sweet, tender flesh, it ripened ahead of many market peaches and shipped well. Its place in the southern peach trade is recorded in the USDA peach studies.
