Red Haven Peach Tree

This Peach Sets the Bar Penn State gives a nod to the Red Haven peach as the "standard and most popular peach variety in the industry." This high praise is well-deserved because of the outstanding quality and taste of Red Haven's semi-freestone fruit. Even Red Haven's ornamental value is superior -- its pink blossoms in spring are also fragrant! Fresh and Frozen Red Haven peaches are some of the best freezing peaches you can find. While other peach varieties don't hold well in the freezer, a bumper crop of Red Haven peaches is easily frozen so you can enjoy these fruits year-round! They'll taste as good when you thaw them as when you picked them off the tree. Freezing Tips If you'll take the time to chop your peaches -- or puree them in your food processor -- and add 1/8 teaspoon of ascorbic acid to each quart of prepared fruit, your peaches will hold up even better in the freezer. Pack into plastic freezer containers or zippered plastic freezer bags. If you love peach fruit smoothies,
