This is an outstanding peach. Ripened mid July and the peaches were firm and sweet. This is the second year we have had peaches on this tree and we harvested over 300 peaches. Sorry to see you no longer offer this tree.

Long time to maturity is too long
I have been disappointed with my Sun Haven Peach. I need early ripening of fruit. Otherwise the birds and varmits have too many opportunities to destroy the fruit. My Belle peach grows fast and ripens early. Very pleased with my Belle peach.

SUN HAVEN PEACH
I'm afraid my Sun Haven Peach died within 3 months. The soil was prepared and in a sunny area. The other fruit tree is doing well.
Impossible to find this tree...been looking everywhere for 6 years! Old variety, sweet and juicy!
