These fruit trees are great value for money when compared to the usual prices in mail order catalogues and garden centers.
They are grafted onto dwarf rootstocks which will restrict the growing height to 6-7 feet – the perfect height for picking and growing in small gardens or in pots on patios and balconies.
Due to the dwarf rootstock they need very little pruning – only prune dead, diseased or crossing branches and for shape if required. The trees should crop all summer long for 50 years or more.
Why Choose the Red Haven?
This Red Haven variety is renown for its hardy nature and heavy cropping qualities. Bred to accentuate its resistance to disease and adaptability, this peach thrives in the British climate. An annual display of beautiful dark pink blossom is followed by an abundant crop of large and richly flavoured fruit year after year. One of the largest varieties on the market, the bright red skin can be removed to reveal a firm but succulent golden yellow flesh which separates cleanly and easily from the stone.
Perfect for snacks, meals or desserts, the Red Haven peach ripens around mid-August and is simply exquisite picked and eaten fresh from the tree, although it is also freezes well, making it a firm favourite for cooking and jam making.
