Harvester Peach Tree
The Harvester Peach Tree (Prunus persica 'Harvester') is a popular variety of peach tree that is known for its high yields of delicious fruit. It is a self-pollinating tree, so it does not require another tree to produce fruit. Harvester Peach Trees are also relatively cold-hardy and disease-resistant.
Harvester Peach Trees can grow to be 10-15 feet tall and wide, and they have a lifespan of 15-20 years. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Harvester Peach Trees are relatively low-maintenance, but they do require regular watering, especially during the first growing season. They should also be fertilized in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
Harvester Peach Trees are typically ready to bear fruit in 3-4 years after planting. The fruit is typically ripe in mid-summer, and it can be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen. Harvester peaches are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber.
Here are some tips for growing and caring for Harvester Peach Trees:
- Plant in full sun in well-drained soil.
- Water regularly, especially during the first growing season.
- Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Prune in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree.
- Harvester Peach Trees are generally pest- and disease-resistant, but it is important to inspect the tree regularly for any signs of problems.
With proper care, Harvester Peach Trees will provide you with many years of enjoyment.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring. We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
