Peach, Cresthaven
Prunus persica 'Cresthaven'
Cresthaven Peach is a reliable, late-season peach variety known for its large, golden-yellow fruit with a bright red blush and firm, juicy flesh. This freestone peach has a deliciously sweet flavor with a hint of tang, making it perfect for fresh eating, canning, and freezing. Developed to be highly resistant to bacterial spot, Crest haven is an excellent choice for home orchards, especially in areas where disease resistance is crucial. The tree is self-pollinating, making it easy to grow, and it puts on a beautiful display of pink blooms in early spring, adding ornamental value to the garden.
Key Characteristics
-
Late-Season Harvest with Sweet, Firm Fruit
Crest haven ripens in late summer (typically in August), providing a bountiful harvest after earlier varieties have finished. Its large, firm peaches are ideal for eating fresh, slicing, or preserving, as they maintain their texture and flavor well during canning and freezing. -
Freestone Variety for Easy Use
As a freestone peach, Cresthaven is easy to pit, making it convenient for baking, cooking, or making jams and preserves. The fruit's firm flesh holds up well in pies, cobblers, and other baked goods, adding a burst of summer sweetness. -
Highly Resistant to Bacterial Spot
Cresthaven is known for its resistance to bacterial spot, a common peach tree disease, making it a reliable choice for humid climates or regions prone to this issue. Its robust nature ensures healthier trees and a more productive harvest each season. -
Self-Pollinating and Productive
Cresthaven is self-fertile, so you don't need a second tree for pollination. This makes it easier to grow in smaller orchards or home gardens, while still providing a generous yield of juicy peaches each year. -
Ornamental Spring Blooms
In early spring, Cresthaven Peach trees are adorned with beautiful, fragrant pink blossoms, attracting bees and other pollinators. The blossoms add an ornamental touch to your landscape before transforming into a heavy crop of peaches later in the season.
