BELONGS TO CATEGORIES Fruit trees

Harbrite is a Canadian peach tree variety bred for better frost resistance and reliable crop. It produces medium large or large, oval to rounded fruit with very attractive skin – it is yellow with many red stripes, sometimes almost red all over. The flesh is yellow, a little red nearer the stone, melting, mildly sweet and aromatic, very tasty. It is free-stone when fully mature which is from late August until mid September. It is self-fertile (no other tree is needed as a pollinator) and is suitable for areas where other warmth-loving peach varieties did not thrive. Vigorous grower.

We suggest planting peach trees in free space so it can feel cold, spring breeze which will delay flowering and thus prevent the flowers from frost damage. It likes slightly alkaline soil, moist but well drained. Do not transplant bare-root trees in autumn, only in spring. Pruning is possible in early spring after flowering or in mid-late August after harvesting the fruit – reduce long branches to 30-50% of their size and remove weak ones. The best yield however is from an unpruned tree which grows naturally. Hardy to about -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
