Peach Tree - Harken - Sale Price: $78.50 Peach - Harken, prunus persica 'Harken', is the best flavored peach! It is hardy and widely adaptable. Harken is very sweet and bears a regular crop of large freestone peaches.  For canning, pick fruit before it is table ripe. The peach tree is admired as much for its beauty and fragrant blossoms as it is for its fruit. The peach blossoms appear late winter and early spring along grey branches, before leaves emerge.

At 3 or 4 years of age it begins to bear large crops and reach peak productivity at 8 to 12 years.

They also require heavier pruning than any other fruit trees to maintain size and encourage new growth.
