2026 Special Fruit Tree Release – Happiest Plants

Introducing one of the most celebrated peach trees in the world: Shimizu Hakuto. Carefully sourced and arranged behind the scenes by us at HappiestPlants, this is a truly special release made available to our customers worldwide for 2026. Availability is extremely restricted - once this batch is sold out, we wouldn't have anymore for the rest of the year. Each tree is carefully prepared to ensure it arrives healthy and ready to thrive in your garden.

Why Shimizu Hakuto Is Considered One of the Best Peaches in the World

Often referred to as “the Queen of Peaches”, Shimizu Hakuto is a premier, high-end white peach variety and widely regarded as one of the finest peaches ever cultivated.

Key reasons for its world-class reputation include:

Luxury-grade sweetness – Exceptionally high natural sugar levels with a refined, elegant flavour rather than sharp acidity.

Melting, snow-white flesh – Extremely soft, delicate, and bursting with juice when ripe.

Highly fragrant aroma – Intensely perfumed, a signature trait of elite Japanese peaches.

Pale, translucent skin – Creamy white skin with a gentle pink blush, prized for its beauty but also famously fragile.

Low acidity – Smooth, gentle taste that appeals even to those who normally avoid peaches.

In Japan, Shimizu Hakuto is classed as a luxury fruit. Commercial growers meticulously care for each fruit, traditionally bagging every single peach on the tree by hand to protect the delicate skin from blemishes and sun damage. This labour-intensive process is one of the reasons this variety commands such prestige.

A Brief History

Shimizu Hakuto was discovered in 1932 as a chance seedling in Okayama Prefecture, Japan - a region famously known as the “Land of Sunshine” due to its ideal fruit-growing climate.

From its discovery, the variety quickly gained recognition for its unmatched texture, fragrance, and sweetness. Over the decades, it became a cornerstone of Okayama’s fruit production and an icon of Japanese horticultural excellence.

Because of its extreme delicacy, short harvest season (late August to early September), and the intensive care required to grow it well, Shimizu Hakuto peaches are often sold individually as high-end gifts, sometimes commanding remarkable prices.

Authentic Shimizu Hakuto trees have traditionally been very difficult to source outside Japan, which makes this 2026 release particularly special.

Why Pruning Is a Blessing in Disguise

While pruning may sound like a compromise, it actually mirrors best practice used by top growers and offers major long-term benefits:

Encourages multiple offshoots, rather than a single tall stem.

Creates a bushier, stronger structure capable of supporting fruit.

Helps prevent the tree from becoming overloaded, which is essential for maintaining high sugar levels.

Leads to more flowering wood and ultimately higher-quality fruit.

Improves airflow and light penetration, reducing disease risk.

Planting & Care Guide

Planting
Ensure the roots are planted into well-prepared ground, allowing plenty of space for them to spread and establish without restriction. Dig a generous planting hole so the roots can be positioned naturally rather than cramped.

Soil Type
Best suited to moderately fertile, well-drained soil. This variety does not tolerate acidic conditions, so neutral to slightly alkaline soil is ideal. If possible, prepare the planting area in advance to improve soil structure and drainage.

Watering & Feeding
Young trees require regular, thorough watering, especially during their first few growing seasons. Apply a suitable fertiliser each spring to encourage healthy growth. In April, mulching around the base of the tree with well-rotted manure or compost will help retain moisture and improve soil fertility (avoid direct contact with the trunk).

Position & Support
Plant in a sunny, sheltered location, as peach trees do not perform well in shade or exposed conditions. A sturdy stake should be used at planting time and left in place for at least five years to support the developing tree.

Flowering & Fruiting
Trees typically blossom and flower in spring, with fruit usually ready for harvesting throughout autumn.

Protection
Netting is recommended to protect the tree and developing fruit from birds, helping to ensure a successful harvest.

A Truly Special Peach Tree

This is not an everyday fruit tree. Shimizu Hakuto is a world-class peach variety, steeped in history and luxury, and now available in limited numbers through HappiestPlants.

Perfect for collectors, fruit enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to grow one of the finest peaches on earth.

One of the best dog toys I’ve bought off Amazon in a long time
Color: Green
My dog Rosie is a heavy tower so it is difficult to find balls she doesn’t destroy quickly. I came across this item on Amazon and it is honestly one of the best pet toys I’ve ever bought on Amazon. After a long day of work sometimes I come home and Rosie has a lot of energy. I turn this ball on fast mode and she has so much fun. I do worry about how much shaking in her mouth. I don’t wanna give her a headache, lol but there’s also a slow mode that you can press for the ball to slowly move around, but it’s a really good toy and I’m happy. I purchased it if you have a heavy tower, I wouldn’t worry about them breaking it because we’ve had it for a couple weeks now and she’s doing great.

Not indestructible, but dogs love it
Color: Green
My dog LOVES this toy. Unfortunately, she loves it so much she destroys it. I have now purchased FOUR of these, but if left unattended for 5 minutes, my American terrier breaks this apart. She loves it so much though, I keep buying replacements. This is a wonderful enrichment toy, but you must keep an eye on your toothy friend.

Engaging and Fun, But Lacks Durability for Strong-Gripped Dogs
Color: Green
The internal mechanism of this toy works very well, and the ball’s movement immediately caught the attention of my Boxer pup. He was absolutely fascinated and spent hours each day playing with it. However, while the toy’s design is engaging, the durability of the exterior leaves much to be desired—especially for dogs who tend to pick things up with a firm grip. We didn’t know what to expect since our pup hadn’t previously played with an interactive ball, so we supervised playtime and made sure to store the ball in a safe spot when we couldn’t keep an eye on him. Despite this, the ball didn’t hold up. Our pup wasn’t intentionally chewing it. He simply carried the ball in his mouth when we moved downstairs or to another room, yet the grip while he carried the ball caused significant damage to the exterior. Within about a week of regular use (approximately 40 hours in total), the ball’s outer layer became deeply gouged by his teeth. To clarify, my pup wasn’t biting down hard or trying to destroy it, but his natural grip while carrying the ball left deep grooves in the surface. In just days, these gouges made the exterior sharp to the touch and compromised the structure. By the end of the week, we couldn’t screw the cover back together after removing it to recharge the ball, which made it unusable. And I was dismayed that there aren’t replacements readily available. Overall, my pup absolutely loved this toy — it was engaging and kept him entertained for hours. However, if your dog has a strong grip or frequently carries toys in their mouth, this may not hold up as well as expected. It’s a great concept but needs a more durable outer layer and replacement hard covers to make it a long-term investment.

My dog loves this ball
Color: Green
The battery on this lasts forever. The random on/off motion and when it gets touched inducing motion just keeps my dog guessing and occupied for a long time. My dog's tail is wagging the whole time.

Great ball
I have bought two of these in different colors. My Yorkie loves them. They’re very interactive even if you don’t put the cover on it they move and if he’s not playing with it, it tends to go into sleep mode.My Yorkie got the cover off the ball within the first two minutes. But he loves the ball. Now bought 2nd ball. The ones with covers don’t work he rips the covers off.
