Prunus persica 'Canadian Harmony' Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips Almost all peaches are self-fertile and require no pollinators. They will set heavy crops on single trees, which need heavy and aggressive thinning early in the season for best fruit size. Maintain good vigor in peaches by pruning every year, and fertilizing moderately. Aim for 1-3 feet of new growth a year. Fertilize early in the season, so that growth is well hardened off before fall and winter cold weather.

A Little History about Canadian Harmony Peach While the Haven series of peaches were bred in Michigan for the northern climes, the Canadians also had great breeding programs that Grandpa looked to for exciting peach varieties. Grandpa just loved Canadian Harmony because of its great size and flavor. Grandma liked it because she had to peel fewer fruit!
