Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Growing Zones 5-8
The Cresthaven Peach Tree (Prunus persica 'Cresthaven') is a great cold-hardy Peach with sweet yellow fuzzy fruit with a reddish-orange blush! This lower growing, spreading tree that erupts in bright pink flowers that are fragrant and a breath of fresh air! Pollinators galore flock to these blossoms and you'll adore sitting under your wide-spreading ornamental fruit tree as they perfume the air!
These gorgeous trees quickly begin filling out in handsome green foliage and forming delightfully fuzzy little nuggets that ripen into medium-sized juicy sweet fruit! Pies, preserves and fresh eating healthy treats await you as early as late June through July. These are freestone Peaches and make eating and slicing super easy!
Hardy in USDA growing zones 5-8, Cresthaven is self-pollinating and you’ll get a decent harvest from a single one of these mature 12-18' feet in height and a mature width of 12-15'! Certainly enough for your family during the summer months. However, for larger crops, you can always plant these with other Peach trees that not only extend your Peach harvest months but also boost pollination and productivity of all Peach trees nearby!
Planting and Application:
Because these are good-sized trees, you'll enjoy the lush shade and a stellar specimen anywhere you plant one! Even if you don't have room for multiple trees, this one will give you and your family all the peaches they can eat each summer! Plus your property will become enhanced with a flowering shade tree that's ornamental and even has lovely yellow fall foliage to round out the growing season.
Cresthaven can be pruned much smaller to accommodate smaller yards and even tucking into smaller and existing properties and orchards with ease! Prune into a double-duty hedgerow for privacy and screening while harvesting fruit from your property dividing living fence.
