Self-Pollinating

This is the peach for canners!

Hale Haven produces large fruit that makes quick work of canning prep. It holds its flavor well and will supply you with the taste of summer all through the cold winter months. The fruit has a pretty yellow skin with a red blush on the cheek, with a rich, sweet, juicy flesh that’s wonderful for fresh-eating as well as putting up. Hale Haven is a dependable producer that’s been successfully grown by generations of gardeners. Originates from South Haven, Michigan in 1924, introduced in 1932. Freestone. Ripens in early September. Self-pollinating.

  1. Randall Akulick –

    Of all my peach trees, here in central Alabama, the standard Hale Haven is a favorite ranking with the best. I like it always produces an extra large peach with a great flavor. It grows quickly and well with little care here, and each standard full grown tree can easily make up to a bushel of extra large peaches.

  2. Teresa Wheeler –

    Breathtakingly beautiful, light pink blooms. Usually experiences frost damage in Kentucky, but so do most other peach varieties. Lighter producer and much more susceptible to brown rot than the Redhaven, but the peaches are huge and so juicy! They still have a good flavor when slightly green. Ripens about a week after Redhaven.

  3. Dimitri Tsalabounis –

    I plane 3 trees in Arizona, the 2 die after one year and was a loss, but one witch left over is doing real good on the heat weather we have here.

  4. Martin Lentz –

    The tree is growing, but was a lot smaller than i thought it would be when i got it.

  5. scott maas –

    I am pleasantly surprised at how well all of my trees purchased last year (2017) are doing. I planted a 4 acre orchard of peaches and cherries in northwest Pennsylvania. Last year was rather dry and it seemed that I would never be done watering my trees but this spring shows me that it was well worth the effort. other than losing two red haven trees to root stock they all survived and seem to be thriving. The Hale Havens are impressive if they produce fruit like they grow I should have plenty for our roadside stand.My overall opinion of Starks bros. is nothing but positive. Thank you for being the professionals that you are.

  6. Daniel Motes –

    I received the trees and took them from the box and planted according to the instructions. They sat for a year without growing any and looked like they was not going to live but after the hard freezes we had this year that killed most of my plants the peach trees came out and began growing.I am pleased to say they are worth the money it is without a doubt the very best peach in the world. Of course it will be years before I get a peach I would recommended these trees above all other peach.

  7. Russ Hawkins –

    Tree iscover d with blossoms this spring, great growth and peaches are delicious!

  8. Aaron Keene –

    The tree has very good growth in the second year in Zone 5 A. I am still waiting for blooms and fruit.

  9. Dawn Canfield –

    Unfortunately, it did not survive the winter. I will have to replace it.

  10. Madison Stevens –

    Tree is blooming well in the first year! Great job Stark!!

Tree Sizes

It is essential that you choose the right size for your space. Whether you’re planting an acre, a suburban yard or a small urban plot, we’ve got the perfect size tree for you. When they mature, they will be one of three sizes*:

dwarf
dwarf

Dwarf

Grows to be about 2.5-3 m (approximately 8-10′) tall and wide. Provides a bounty of full-sized fruit in a small amount of space.

semi-dwarf
semi-dwarf

Semi-Dwarf

Grows to be about 3.5-4.5 m (approximately 12-15′) tall and wide. Produces the maximum crop per square foot of growing area. The majority of the fruit can be harvested from the ground, with no need for a ladder.

standard

Standard & Unmarked

Grows to be at least 5.5 m (approximately 18′) tall and wide. Standard nectarine and peach trees grow to be 3.5-4.5 m (approximately 12-15′) tall and wide. Standard trees serve two purposes: they provide both fruit and shade.

* Tree sizes may vary by variety.

Potted Trees

potted tree

EZ Start® Potted Trees

Trees that are grown in a bottomless 4x4x10″ pot, which encourages dense feeder-root growth for a quick, strong establishment. When shipped, they are about 1½ – 3′ tall.

Supreme EZ Start® Potted Trees

Top-grade trees are grown in a bottomless 5x5x12″ pot, which creates an advanced root system comparable to that of a three-year-old tree. When shipped to you, they are about 3 – 4′ tall.

Supreme XL Potted Trees

Our biggest and most robust potted trees. Grown in a 9x9x12″ pot filled with high-grade soil, these trees are even larger than our Supreme EZ Start® trees. When shipped to you, they are 4-5′ tall.

Bare-Root Trees

bare-root

Stark Supreme Tree®

This season’s top-grade, bare-root trees that give you a head start on growing. When shipped, they are about 4-5′ tall and/or with a 5/8″ or larger trunk diameter.

Supreme XL Trees

We don’t call them “XL” for nothing! Supreme XL trees are our biggest and most robust bare-root trees: they ship 5-6′ tall and/or with a 1″ or larger trunk diameter.

USDA Certified Organic Trees

organic

If you’re inclined toward organic gardening, browse our selection of non-GMO, certified USDA Organic fruit trees. Our fields and trees undergo annual inspection to maintain their certification, and are grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides on pure pastureland.

Grafted Trees

graft

Grafting is the process of taking cuttings from a single “parent” tree known for its fruit taste, size, bloom period and ripening time, and joining it with the root system and trunk base (rootstock) of another tree also known for its desirable qualities. This process has been used for thousands of years to produce fruit that is consistent in flavor, shape and size.

Most of our trees are grafted, creating this kind of consistency and allowing us to produce different mature tree sizes. While seed-grown fruit trees might give you unpredictable variations or a lack of results, grafted trees will give you the fruit you want and the tree size you expect.

Stark® Custom Graft® Trees

Limited space doesn’t have to mean a limited selection of fruit. Stark® Custom Graft® fruit trees have two (or more) varieties carefully grafted onto one tree. These multi-grafted fruit trees require less space to grow than separate trees, and also provide compatible pollinators — built right in! To ensure success growing multiple varieties on your Stark® Custom Graft® fruit trees, be sure to prune to keep all varieties in balance.

Other Terminology

Professional Pruning

Pruning is one of the most important ways to help ensure that your tree gets off to the right start and has the best chance for success. That’s why Stark Bro’s professionals prune many of our fruit trees before shipment — at no cost to you!

We get you started, but you will need to prune throughout the life of your tree. Doing so will help eliminate extra buds that can slow development and allow your tree to form a strong framework by removing weak, narrow and competing branches. Proper pruning will give your tree the perfect shape and branching structure for maximum fruit production.

Self-pollinating

Indicates tree or plant will pollinate itself and doesn’t need another tree or plant near it in order to bear fruit. In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You’ll get fruit with only one tree!

Starkspur®

A Stark patented product since 1952! “Spurs” mean bigger harvests! Starkspur® trees are different from regular trees which bear fruit only on the outside limbs. The spur allows fruit to form on each limb and bear from the trunk out – doubling the amount of fruit.

Stark® Colonnade®

Grow full-sized fruit on narrow columnar-shaped trees. Perfect for growing fruit on a balcony, patio, or sliver of ground – even if you live in an apartment or condo. They make a particularly impressive “living fence” when planted in a row – consider using them to disguise eyesores on your property and grow fruit at the same time!
