Redhaven Peach Tree

Fruit trees can feel like a huge commitment, especially if you're a home gardener with limited space. If you would like to grow an established, disease-resistant peach that thrives in colder zones, then the Redhaven Peach Tree (Prunus persica 'Redhaven') is one of the best varieties for colder regions and home growers!

A reliable producer, it was developed in western Michigan during the Great Depression and has been one of the most popular varieties since!

If you have a possibility of late frost, the Redhaven Peach is an excellent choice. Its blooms are a beautiful pink and very fragrant, but they appear later to avoid the damage caused by a late frost.

The handsome pyramidal shape and vibrant green foliage turns a glorious golden-yellow in autumn and the fantastic shape makes it a valuable ornamental addition to your landscape!

This dark yellow fruit has a prominent red blush. It’s a firm-textured, freestone peach variety that bursts with juice and flavor when you bite into the yellow flesh. It’s delicious fresh from the tree, but you probably can't eat them as quickly as your tree will produce them, so plan on canning or freezing the ones that you can't eat or put into pies or cobbler.

Redhaven ripens in mid-summer and is a hardy, rapid grower, sometimes producing a crop the second year. This variety is a heavy-bearing, dependable producer, so get ready to enjoy your bumper crop!
