Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Jayhaven is a strong choice for anyone who enjoys firm, juicy yellow peaches that are easy to prepare thanks to their freestone flesh. The productive tree ripens around ten days after Redhaven. Reliable references support tolerance to bacterial spot, but not proven resistance to peach leaf curl, so we would correct that claim in the current product description.

Description

Jayhaven peach tree produces quickly and abundantly, with good-sized yellow-fleshed peaches.

The flesh is very juicy, melting and flavourful, with a good balance between sweetness and acidity.

This variety has very good resistance to peach leaf curl, making it particularly interesting for gardens with limited spraying.

Harvest takes place from late July to early August.

Peach trees are self-fertile, so a single tree can produce fruit.

Like all peach trees, Jayhaven can be affected by spring frosts, although the tree itself is resistant to winter cold. For more regular cropping, plant it in a sunny, sheltered position, ideally near or against a wall in cooler regions.

Jayhaven was selected in 1965 by Stanley Johnston from varieties chosen for flavour and/or leaf curl resistance. Its ancestry includes Redhaven, Halehaven and Ambergem.

We graft and train our peach trees in the nursery, in open ground. They are then supplied bare-root, in several tree forms and on different rootstocks depending on availability.
