How to Use Hale Haven Peach Tree in the Landscape

Use a single tree as a pretty addition to your landscaping. Just get ready to start answering questions from any curious (and jealous!) passers-by.

Hale Haven grows into a naturally rounded shape. It's attractive from the pink spring bloom, to the magnificent harvest and even golden-yellow fall color. Why not add one as a focal point?

Use a few along your fence or as a hard-working backdrop for smaller plants. Mulch underneath for easier fall clean-up.

Extend your harvest season by planting an early and late season variety along with the Hale Haven. Add a fun, great-tasting Donut Peach, or a sweet, white-fleshed variety to your backyard.

Even though this semi-dwarf tree stays medium-sized, all fruiting trees can be kept much smaller with an annual summer prune. You can control the height and spread to under 8 feet or easy harvest. Be sure to watch our YouTube videos to learn how to create 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 high density plantings.

This is a great variety to try your hand at the ancient art of espalier. These specially pruned trees are tied flat against a fence or trellis system. You'll create a garden feature, save space and easily harvest your fruit.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant your tree in full sun. Peaches grow best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

If you can, give them morning sun so the leaves can dry off quickly from overnight dew. They also appreciate good air circulation. This is especially true in the frost-prone areas that can trap low-lying stagnant air.

As well as "well-drained air", Peach trees need well-drained soil. If you see puddles that remain for a long time after a rain event, you need to improve your drainage.

It's as easy as bringing in additional dirt 3 feet wide by 18 inches high. Plant directly in that mound. You can also create a raised bed with a defined border.

Use a thick layer of mulch over the entire root system. Spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch around your tree, out to 3 feet outside of the canopy. This will help keep the roots nice and moist.

Peaches require moderate water on a regular basis. Pay careful attention as the trees are young, and during fruit production.

In late winter, sculpt your tree. Prune into a goblet-shape with wide-spreading lateral branches. 45 degree angles are strong and can support the weight of your yearly harvest. If you have limbs that either shade or are shaded by other limbs; select one and remove the other.

If you want to keep your tree smaller, plan to conduct an annual summer prune. Tip prune the new growth for size control.

The best time to order a popular variety like Hale Haven is right now. Don’t wait, our fruiting plants sell out quickly.

Peach Tree Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Hale Haven Peach Trees to bear fruit?

How Fast Do Hale Haven Peach Trees Grow?

Once your Hale Haven (Prunus persica 'Hale Haven') has been established (after the first year), it can typically add 12-18 inches of new growth in a growing season. If your plants are adding less than that in a season, it may be worth your while to check the fertility level.

Where do Hale Haven Peach Trees Grow Best?

Peach trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more.

Do You Need 2 Peach Trees to Produce Fruit?

All peach trees are self-fertile, however planting more than one peach tree that blooms at about the same time, boosts yields on both trees and extends your harvest time!

Harvest Times for Hale Haven Peach Trees

Hale Havens are typically ready to harvest in July. Keep in mind exact harvest times are subject to change depending on the hardiness zones they’re being grown in.

Early-Season? Mid-Season? Late-Season? The terminology can be confusing for new peach tree growers. Weather, climate and your tree determine when it’s ripe.

When Should Hale Haven Peach Tree be Planted?

Bareroot peach trees can be planted in spring when they are available in your area. Container-grown peach trees can be very successfully transplanted all throughout the growing season. Check for first and last frost dates for your area with your local County Extension Office.
