When it blooms how long do u wait to spray for bugs?
J S on Mar 16, 2016
BEST ANSWER: If the blossoms are open I wouldn't spray. Even after pollination I'd spray either early morning or late evening to avoid hitting any bees. I believe neem oil is toxic to bees only if its sprayed directly on them. Good luck.
My peach tree is starting it's 2nd year here and has blooms. Should I pick the blooms off?
Mary M on Apr 2, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hi Mary
It would be fine to let some buds grow, but if you were to pinch them off, the plant's energy would go into roots and growth for next season. Short term sacrifice for long term gain.
Good luck Adam
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience growing Red Haven peachs along the Gulf Coast in Zone 8B in Mobile AL? If not, any successful experience with other varIties?
Jan W on Jan 26, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I have grown the peaches for the past years in atlanta, ga. No problem.
Will this fruit within the first year?
Linda F on Apr 12, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Good morning Linda,
I also have other peach tress that are 3 and 4 years old. Peach trees do not
fruit the 1st year. It generally takes 3-4 years depending on weather and how well
you take care of it. My older trees were going to fruit last year but a late freeze
killed all my beautiful flowers. That's nature! Hopefully this year!!, Hope I helped you
Sincerely, Dan
How long or often should I spray dormant spray on young peach trees?
Gene B on May 19, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I usually spray by peach trees every two weeks during the season. Starting at the end of May until two weeks prior to harvest By Redhaven trees were loaded last season.
Are the trees 'whips' or decent spread of branches?
James B on Jun 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Don't know what whips are but mine is nice and full of branches for its size.
No peaches 1st summer but this year this little 35 inch tree has 15
peaches about 2 inches each so far. Expecting more when it is fully grown.
Hope this helps James... thanks - Anthony
Can trees be trimmed and trained to grow against a wall?
Steve on Apr 19, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I have a small yard in the city with a wooden fence. Not ideal for peach growing. But I try. My Redhaven peach is planted about three feet in from the fence, and I do prune it so that it has an odd shape, a little flat on one side. Not espaliered like an apple, but not at all symmetrical, either. The fence is six feet tall, so I let a few branches at the back reach over the top. Not beautiful, but I get good peaches. This is the second Redhaven I have grown this way. For me, it is worth it, because this variety grows well here in zone five, the flavor is great, and I get good pollination, so plenty of fruit.
Do I need to spray my just planed peach trees?
Robert O on Mar 25, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I think it depends on where you live and what you are spraying for. We live in IL and have only sprayed them once for Aphids when the plants next to them had Aphids and so we sprayed everything nearby to prevent spread. Otherwise we have had no pest issues with our peach plants. Hope it helps!
When should I expect my new peach tree to leaf-out after planting in the spring (zone 6)?
Hannah B on Apr 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: We planted our peach tree in August in zone 6 and it wintered over well and started getting leaves in March of following year.. if you planted in spring I would think you would have leaves within a couple months of planting. Give plenty of water once chance of freeze has past.
Can this be grown in a pot in 6a zone?
Ed S on Aug 15, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Ed,
It can be grown in a pot for the first two years outdoors until you can find a good planting spot for it. Peach trees need to be left outdoors year round because they need so many chill hours to produce a crop. When planted outside it will need to be planted in a sunny & well drained place for it to produce a bountiful crop. If it produces a crop at all in a pot it will be extremely top heavy and cause itto fall over easily. If planted in a pot it will become root-bound very quickly. If you have a place to plant it outdoors I would do that as soon as you receive the tree(s) and forget the pot. It would be like any other tree if you planted it in a pot. Hope this helps and good luck. John in Illinois
My third year Red haven had a lot of fruit. I thinned about two-thirds off trying to maintain size but remaining fruit is still small a bit larger than a golf ball. Why might this have happened? No previous crop and good fertility.
John M on Jul 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: John M. your fruit will be small in size the first harvest or two. My Redhaven produced the first time this year and mine was smaller also. Just be sure to give it some nitrogen next February or March. I use 12-12-12 on all my fruit trees. When I first plant my trees I give them some root stimulator about 3 times between March 1st and the 1st of July. Your fruit will gradually increase in size as the tree ages. A peach tree is good for apprx 15 years. I plant new trees every 5 years.
Can I plant a semi-dwarf Red-haven peach tree in a container?
Godess on Apr 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: It is fine. I grow standard, semi, and dwarf in 15 gallon pots. Be warned, that the the top 1/3 of the soil in the pot needs to be refreshed every two to three years. Use only high quality potting soil. I don't take the tree inside during the winter. it stays on the patio in the corner, so its sheltered from the cold dry winds . My fruit trees produce between 10-12 peaches each. You need to thin the set flowers to get nice sized peach. If you allow the tree to keep all its set flowers, your peaches will be the size of walnuts.
would Redhaven Peach grow in semi-shaded area?
186 Review
Mikheil K on Apr 17, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I planted two on a semi-shaded hillside about 18 months ago and they are growing beautifully and are yielding a surprising amount of fruit this year. I planted a third one nearby this spring and it is growing very well (but is too small to fruit this year).
Is the Red Haven peach tree graphed or budded?

Estimated yield per mini red haven peach?
Rick S on Mar 5, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Last summer was my second year since planting my peach tree. I only yielded 3 peaches but they were the best tasting peaches I ever ate. I expect a better yield this year after learning how to prune my tree.
Will you have the bigger Redhaven Peach trees in the spring? I like the trees larger than two to three foot. I'm talking about the larger trees you usually sell for $49.

What is the coldest temperature a Redhaven Peach tree can survive?
Linda C on Feb 17, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Redhavens can survive below-zero temps. Much depends upon the wind speed and direction, but it's a very cold-hardy tree. If you plan on ordering one, just make sure your growing zone is rated for it.

Best overall peach
Bought the Redhaven from Stark Bros in 2003. In 2008 it set so much fruit I had to thin it out. Between the tree dropping excess fruit, my thinning, and the fruit left on the tree, I counted fruit set over 600! Here in NE PA it ripens the first week in August. Great flavor, average size, freestone--excellent all around.

I would recommend not planting close to pine trees as they seem to have an adverse effect on peaches in close proximity.

Great Looking Peach Tree
Planted a dwarf redhaven peach two springs ago, and the tree took off growing immediately the first season. Had a few blossoms and two peaches last year. LOADED with blossoms this spring. The late cold weather may get my crop, but this tree is sprouting new growth again and looks fantastic.

Best Peach
My Dad planted a lot of Peach Trees and the Redhaven was my favorite and the favorite of most of his customers. Of Course, he planted the big trees on his farm, but I have better luck with the dwarfs in my yard. In the beginning, he tried a lot of different companies to get the best fruit trees. He found Stark Bros and never ordered from anybody else after that.

Looking forward to delicious peaches!
This will be the third dwarf Redhaven Peach that I've had. The first one we moved away from and the last one drown last May after we had 20" of rain. Our third one is planted in a higher part of the yard and in a raised bed. The peaches have been delicious. My husband took pictures of some that were as big as grape fruits and much more delicious! They freeze great and make wonderful pies or just eating fresh. Two years ago I thinned over 700 and harvested about 600 beautiful, delicious peaches. The peach flesh is sometimes shot through with a red color.

Red Haven Peach Tree
I ordered one Red Haven Peach Tree from you last spring. I was very nice size. It now has many blooms on it. I had to buy the second one this spring to put next to it. Hopefully a late frost won't hurt the blooms. Looking forward to a nice crop for many years to come. Thank You, John in Illinois.

Redhaven Peach
I received the Redhaven Peach tree last October, just in time for fall planting. A very healthy and robust tree, professionally pruned ready to plant. It wintered over very well and I see the buds are beginning to form/swell. I am looking forward to reap the reward of a bountiful harvest in due time. Thank you for your prompt service and delivery schedule. Again, a very nice, healthy tree.
