Zone: 5CRESTHAVEN PEACH TREE
'Cresthaven' Peach is a premier late-season yellow freestone peach tree, highly regarded for its exceptional flavor and reliable performance in the home orchard or commercial setting. Its fruit is large and firm with a beautiful, deep red blush over a golden-yellow ground color, making it as visually stunning as it is delicious. Known for its sweet, juicy, and melting flesh, 'Cresthaven' is nearly fuzzless and resists browning, which makes it an ideal for fresh eating, canning, or freezing. It is moderately vigorous and self-fertile, though it benefits from the presence of other peach varieties to ensure a maximum harvest.
To ensure 'Cresthaven' Peach tree thrives, plant it in a location that receives full sun and has deep, well-draining soil to prevent "wet feet," which can lead to root issues. It is notably cold-hardy and shows a good degree of resistance to bacterial spot, but it still requires a regular pruning schedule in late winter to maintain an open center for light penetration and air circulation.

To help this tree settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in full sun to ensure the best fruit production and foliage color. Peach trees are particularly susceptible to fungal diseases such as leaf curl and brown rot, so prioritize a site with excellent air circulation and avoid low-lying areas where frost or water can collect. Provide deep, consistent water during the first few growing seasons until the tree is well established, and monitor soil moisture thereafter to ensure it remains consistently moist but never waterlogged.
Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant to improve structure, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage productive growth. For peach trees, an open-center or vase-shaped pruning style is highly recommended to maximize light penetration and air movement through the canopy.
