About Redhaven
Redhaven is a classic yellow-fleshed freestone peach with red blush, good flavor, and dependable midseason production. It remains a standard cultivar for home orchards and commercial comparison.
Growing Redhaven Peach
Redhaven is self-fertile and needs substantial winter chilling plus protection from spring frosts. Thin heavily to maintain fruit size, manage peach leaf curl before bud break, and harvest when the ground color turns yellow.
