All about Redhaven peach trees

Redhaven is the definitive American peach. It is a yellow-fleshed peach, ripening mid-season, August in the northern states.

Redhaven has a very good, strong, peach flavor, and juicy flesh. It is best picked and eaten straight from the tree. The peaches ripen over a period rather than all at once - an undesirable characteristic for commercial growers but great for the backyard orchard since you can pick them as you need them.

Redhaven is a freestone peach - the flesh comes away fairly cleanly from the stone.

How to grow

Redhaven has some resistance to peach leaf curl, but it is still important to take additional precautions. The simplest method is cover the tree with a horticultural fleece during the winter, as this blocks fungal spores (which are spread in rain drops and splashes).

Redhaven usually over-sets so you will probably need to thin the fruitlets in late spring - the remaining ones will be bigger and have better flavor as a result.

History

Redhaven was developed by Stanley Johnston at the Michigan State Experiment Station in South Haven, Michigan USA, in the 1940s. It may be descended from an English variety, Hale's Early.
