Cresthaven Peach Tree

Origin: USA

Description:The Cresthaven Peach Tree is a late-season variety that produces freestone peaches with vibrant red skin and golden yellow flesh. It is known for its excellent resistance to bacterial spot and other common peach diseases. This variety thrives in a wide range of climatic conditions but prefers well-drained, fertile soils. The tree has a spreading habit, which facilitates sunlight penetration and air circulation for optimal fruit development.

Fruit: The peaches are large with a firm texture and a sweet, slightly tart flavor. The skin is mostly red with a yellow undertone, and the flesh is yellow, making it very appealing for fresh eating, canning, and baking.

Harvest: The harvest time for Cresthaven peaches is late in the season, usually from mid to late August, depending on the climate. The fruit is consistently large and has a very good shelf life, making it suitable for both fresh market and processing.

Pollination: Cresthaven is a self-pollinating variety, so it does not require a second tree for fruit production, but having another peach variety nearby can enhance yield.

Spacing: Recommended spacing is about 4 to 5 meters between trees to ensure good growth and airflow. Trees can grow to a height of 2.5 to 3 meters.

Good to know: This variety is particularly valued for its versatility and storage capability, maintaining quality in storage for extended periods. Cresthaven peaches are also noted for their uniform fruit size, which is a beneficial trait for commercial growers focusing on marketability.
