How to Use Hale Haven Peach Tree in the Landscape

Use a single tree as a pretty addition to your landscaping. Just get ready to start answering questions from any curious (and jealous!) passers-by.

Hale Haven grows into a naturally rounded shape. It's attractive from the pink spring bloom, to the magnificent harvest and even golden-yellow fall color. Why not add one as a focal point?

Use a few along your fence or as a hard-working backdrop for smaller plants. Mulch underneath for easier fall clean-up.

Extend your harvest season by planting an early and late season variety along with the Hale Haven. Add a fun, great-tasting Donut Peach, or a sweet, white-fleshed variety to your backyard.

Even though this semi-dwarf tree stays medium-sized, all fruiting trees can be kept much smaller with an annual summer prune. You can control the height and spread to under 8 feet or easy harvest. Be sure to watch our YouTube videos to learn how to create 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 high density plantings.

This is a great variety to try your hand at the ancient art of espalier. These specially pruned trees are tied flat against a fence or trellis system. You'll create a garden feature, save space and easily harvest your fruit.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant your tree in full sun. Peaches grow best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

If you can, give them morning sun so the leaves can dry off quickly from overnight dew. They also appreciate good air circulation. This is especially true in the frost-prone areas that can trap low-lying stagnant air.

As well as "well-drained air", Peach trees need well-drained soil. If you see puddles that remain for a long time after a rain event, you need to improve your drainage.

It's as easy as bringing in additional dirt 3 feet wide by 18 inches high. Plant directly in that mound. You can also create a raised bed with a defined border.

Use a thick layer of mulch over the entire root system. Spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch around your tree, out to 3 feet outside of the canopy. This will help keep the roots nice and moist.

Peaches require moderate water on a regular basis. Pay careful attention as the trees are young, and during fruit production.

In late winter, sculpt your tree. Prune into a goblet-shape with wide-spreading lateral branches. 45 degree angles are strong and can support the weight of your yearly harvest. If you have limbs that either shade or are shaded by other limbs; select one and remove the other.

If you want to keep your tree smaller, plan to conduct an annual summer prune. Tip prune the new growth for size control.

The best time to order a popular variety like Hale Haven is right now. Don't wait, our fruiting plants sell out quickly.
