The Cresthaven Peach Tree produces a very firm, juicy, highly colored red fruit that is great for freezing and canning.  The clear, firm flesh is resistant to browning, and the skin is smooth but tough.  Cresthaven peach is yellow fleshed and shows considerable red around the pit. 

This peach is a mid to late season variety, blooms late, and the fruit lasts well on the tree.  This dwarf tree grows 8 to 14 feet in height; it is very productive and is also a freestone.  Peach trees are best planted when dormant, in the winter or very early spring months.  Each tree needs to be spaced far enough apart to allow a spread of 20 to 25 feet.  At 3 or 4 years of age they begin to bear large crops and reach peak productivity at 8 to 12 years.  No pollinator is needed and thrives in zones 5-9.

Peaches require lots of sun and a sandy, well drained soil, along with a regular fertilizing program.  They also need heavier pruning than any other fruit trees to maintain size and encourage new growth.  Peach trees add character to any landscape, and they're a hardy variety of fruit tree that can be grown successfully in many climates.
