Peach (Prunus persica)

Exposure: Full sun. Zone 5
Soil: Well-drained garden soil
Growth habits: Peaches should be grown as an open-spreading vase-shaped small tree to 15 feet. Peaches are self-fertile with attractive pink flowers in mid spring followed by large luscious, juicy yellow fruit in mid to late summer. Peache's long pointed dark green leaves give the tree an almost tropical appearance. Choose late blooming varieties to avoid late frost damage. To grow really fine peaches requires focus and attention from their steward. Not for the negligent gardener.
Landscape uses: Use peaches as a home orchard tree or as a small, spreading tree in mixed shrub borders.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Peaches are the finest flavored of all temperate fruits in my opinion. To eat a peach is to approach the divine through the delight of the senses.
Pollination: Self-fertile.

$49.00 / 7 gal.

'Red Haven' - Heavy-bearing, cold-hardy, and resists leaf spot. Big, luscious peaches that have an almost fuzzless skin over firm, creamy yellow flesh. Fruit is medium to large size and is just right for fresh snacks, canning or freezing.
