DESCRIPTION

Redhaven - this variety has been popular for many years. Undoubtedly this is owed to the perfect fruit which are large, round, golden yellow and covered in a bright red, marble-spotted blush. The pulp is not very fibrous, but firm, with a sweet and sour taste. They are very juicy and come away from the stone easily.

ADVICES

Trees are best placed in a sunny position, sheltered from wind. Keep in mind that the soil should be well drained and fertile. The optimum pH is in the range of 6.5-7.0.

To stimulate future growth the tree should be pruned in the first year immediately after planting. Formative pruning should be executed on the main stem, 20 cm above where the planned future branches will grow. The other branches should also be cut, reducing their length by one third. The best time to prune the peach tree is annually in the spring. It is important to spray early in spring to protect against peach leaf curl disease. This variety does not require a pollinator.
