PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It gives spring bloom and a fruiting canopy, but the main reason to plant it is harvest, not formal structure.
Growth Rate
B+
It establishes and fills in at a good pace when sited in sun with steady moisture.
Maintenance
C
Plan on annual pruning, fruit thinning, and watching for common peach pest and disease issues.
Deer Resistance
D
Deer may browse young growth, so protect trunks and low branches where deer pressure is active.
Small Space Fit
C+
It can work in a roomy backyard, but it is not the right fruit tree for tight foundation beds.
Screening Value
D
It drops leaves and needs airflow, so do not use it as a privacy screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Redhaven to homeowners who want peaches and accept the maintenance. Give it the sunniest, airiest fruit-tree spot, not a low wet area, and plan pruning before it gets overgrown.

Customers Usually Ask
Does Redhaven need another peach nearby?
No, it is self-fruitful, though strong pollinator activity helps fruit set.
When does it ripen?
Mid-season, with exact timing shifting by weather and site.
Can I grow it without spraying?
Possibly, but expect blemished fruit and some losses without monitoring.
Why Grow Your Own Edible Plants?
Fresh, Homegrown Flavor: Harvest fruits, berries, and herbs at peak ripeness—far fresher than store-bought options.
Functional & Beautiful: Many edible plants offer attractive blooms, foliage, and structure while producing food.
Long-Term Yield: Fruit trees and berry shrubs provide reliable harvests year after year once established.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
