Red Haven Peach Tree

The Red Haven Peach Tree (Prunus persica 'Red Haven') is a popular, reliable variety known for its sweet, juicy, freestone peaches with a vibrant red skin and yellow flesh. It is widely grown in USDA Zones 5-8 and is prized for its high fruit quality and early harvest, typically ripening in mid-summer. The tree is self-pollinating but benefits from cross-pollination with another peach tree for better yields. Red Haven is moderately hardy, thriving in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It requires regular watering, annual pruning, and some protection from pests and diseases like peach leaf curl and aphids. The tree typically grows to 12-15 feet tall and is ideal for both home gardens and orchards.
