Not just for immediate indulgence, this peach is a winner for freezing and canning, allowing you to enjoy its goodness all year round.
Grown with success from the Northeast to the deep South, the Newhaven boasts impressive cold-hardiness, reducing the risk of bud-kill in colder climates.

Plus, this self-pollinating wonder can yield even bigger harvests when planted near another peach variety with a similar bloom time. Get ready for a peachy feast straight from your garden!
How to Grow a Newhaven Peach Tree
Growing the Newhaven Peach tree is a breeze! This sweet sensation thrives in a variety of climates, from the Northeast to the deep South. When selecting a spot for your tree, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for the best results. Plant it in early spring, and before you know it, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful peachy spectacle.
The Newhaven is quite the independent pollinator, but for an even more bountiful harvest, consider planting it near another peach variety that blooms around the same time. This buddy system can work wonders for your peach crop.
With its exceptional cold-hardiness, this tree stands strong against chilly temperatures, reducing the risk of bud-kill and ensuring you’ll have plenty of peaches to enjoy.
