Cresthaven Peach is a small deciduous tree with an oval canopy with a heavy production of large freestone fruits in mid summer. The attractive pink flowers bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge. Its nearly fuzzless peaches have firm golden yellow flesh that resists browning and a sweet-tangy flavor. Grows best with full sun and moist well-drained soils. Self-pollinating.
