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!

How to Use Redhaven Peach Tree In The Landscape

As fall approaches, get ready to enjoy the fruit of your spring and summer labor. You will enjoy the dependable crop of sweet, juicy peaches. Use them fresh-picked, baked or canned! But save enough so you can send some to family and friends because they ship well, too!

If you're looking for a shady haven to sit beneath and enjoy fresh peaches, you’re in luck! Plant Redhaven near your seating or patio areas for lush shade that is dripping with fragrant blooms and juicy snacks!

A beautiful tree to plant front and center in your front landscaping, anchor a side garden or even provide shade and privacy, Redhaven is modestly sized to fit into any garden. Easily tucked into an existing home landscape or orchard of all sizes!

While this variety self-pollinates, planting two trees, or with another Peach variety, will increase your yield. The bees, butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you all spring.
