Peach Trees Elberta

#7 gallon pot. 

Elberta Peach Tree - Trees for cross pollination: Redhaven, Cresthaven, & O’Henry. Height: 12-15 ft, Width: 12-15 ft. Interest: Fruit in mid-July. Elberta peaches are a classic freestone variety, prized for their large, golden-orange fruit with a rosy blush and juicy, sweet flavor. Introduced in Georgia in the late 1800s, Elberta peaches are ideal for fresh eating, baking, canning, and preserves. Their reliable production and exceptional taste make them a favorite for backyard orchards and family harvests.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune annually in late winter to maintain an open center shape, which improves airflow and fruit production. Thin young fruit early in the season to encourage larger, healthier peaches and prevent branch breakage. Apply fertilizer in early spring, water consistently during dry periods, and monitor for pests and disease throughout the growing season.
