Summary
For classic, juicy peaches and a springtime bloom show, Redhaven is one of the most trusted names in the orchard.
Prunus persica 'Redhaven' is prized for its sweet, yellow-fleshed freestone peaches that are excellent fresh and well suited to baking, freezing, and preserving. In spring, the tree is covered in bright pink blossoms, adding seasonal beauty while supporting pollinators.
Redhaven is self-fertile, so one tree can produce fruit, but planting near another peach variety can improve pollination and overall yield. With full sun, good airflow, and consistent care, it becomes a productive backyard fruit tree with dependable harvests.
Care
Redhaven Peach Tree Care
Plant in full sun for best flowering and fruit production. Choose well-draining soil and avoid low areas where cold air or standing water collect.
Water regularly during establishment and during prolonged dry periods. Apply mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture and reduce weed competition (keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk).
If fertilization is needed, apply a slow release fertilizer in spring according to label directions.
Prune annually to maintain an open structure and healthy branching. Pruning is typically done in late winter to early spring before new growth begins, with light touch-ups after flowering if needed.
