Plant description

‘Redhaven’ is a widely planted vigorous and fast-growing variety, popular as a ‘freestone’ peach, its yellow flesh comes away easily and cleanly from the stone and has good resistance to peach leaf-curl. Ripening early to mid-season in the UK (end of July), ‘Redhaven’ is a self-fertile tree (and will produce good crops without pollination) with a very good, strong, peach flavour, and juicy flesh. It is best picked and eaten straight from the tree although bakes and preserves well too.

How to care for peach Redhaven:

When planting your peach, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Peaches are best grown against or trained on a sheltered, sunny wall, traditionally under shelter from excessive rainfall, which reduces the chances of peach leaf curl. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting and provide regular watering during hot, dry spells. Protect blooms from late frost by covering the plant with a double layer of horticultural fleece, and prune in summer to reduce the risk of disease.

Please note:

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
