'Red Haven' Peach Tree

  • A mid season peach with large, juicy fruits
  • Superb peach flavour
  • Good resistance to peach leaf curl
  • Mid season variety - harvest late July
  • Max size H3m x W3m - Montclare Rootstock Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
  • Self fertile - will produce good crops without pollination
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Hardiness

Hardy
May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers. This won't cause lasting damage to the tree but will reduce the yield of fruit that year.

Pollination group

N/A
Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other, which helps produce fruit if not self fertile, and can still improve yields even if they are. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1, 2, and 3

Uses

Eating, Making Jams

Rootstock

Montclare rootstock (grows up to 3m)
Peach varieties are usually grown by grafting them to rootstocks. This has benefits for pest resistance, genetics and the efficiency of propagation. Importantly, it also limits the height of a tree to a more manageable, specific height. Montclare Peach trees tend to only reach 4m tall, perfect for smaller spaces or those afraid of stepladders. They can also be trained to a smaller size by pruning or restricting the roots, by keeping in a smaller pot

Will this grow in my garden?

Can I grow this in a pot?

How big does it get?

The Red Haven Peach Tree typically reaches a mature height of 3 to 4.5 metres and a spread of 3 to 4 metres, though this can be restricted by using dwarfing rootstocks.

The 'Red Haven' peach tree prefers well-drained, fertile, and slightly acidic sandy loam soil.
