First harvest date in 2012 was June 26, earlier than average (first harvest 2009 – July 17; 2010 – July 14; 2011 – July 15)

Average yield in 2012 was 70 lbs/tree, somewhat less than average but more than 2011 (2009 – Avg. 97 lbs/tree; 2010 – 167 lbs/tree; 2011 – 51 lbs/tree)

A mature Redhaven peach tree should yield about 2 to 3 bushels of peaches, or about 100 to 150 pounds of peaches. From the Crop Profile for Peaches in Missouri  http://www.ipmcenters.org/cropprofiles/docs/mopeaches.pdf the productive  life of a peach orchard in Missouri is from 15 to 20 years. Our Redhaven orchard was planted in 1993 and is 19 years old. Dr. Martin Kaps and John Avery are planning to put in a new peach orchard in 2013 to replace this one since it is declining in production.
