Hale Haven Dwarf Peach
Prunus persica 'Hale Haven'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
Plant Family: Rosaceae
Plant Description: This high-yielding dwarf peach tree is a hybrid of J.H Hale and South Haven. Bears numerous pink flowers in spring leading to large yellow freestone peaches with red blushed skin. The peaches have firm flesh that resists bruising and is ideal for canning and freezing. Needs 6-8 hours of sunlight daily to ripen. Green lance shaped leaves also provide some ornamental appeal without the fruit. Not tolerant of drought. Self-pollinating.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Fruit
Plant Care: Tree - Fruit (single-stemmed woody plants cultivated for their edible fruit): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring. Pruning techniques vary depending on tree species. Understand the needs of each tree type before pruning.
Provide adequate water and nutrients to aid in fruit development. Thin fruit as necessary to avoid excessive stress on the tree, especially on apple and peach trees.
Fruit trees will require pest control to reduce damage to fruit and to keep the tree healthy. Find out the appropriate pest control methods for the species before attempting to control pests.
