Elberta Peach Tree

Tops for Canning

(2 customer reviews)

Firm, yellow-fleshed freestone is ideal for canning and is equally tasty fresh. Plump rose-blushed fruits have a fabulous aroma and honey-sweet taste—absolutely bursting with flavor. Ripens mid to late Sept. Self-pollinating. Zones 5-8.

Planting tip: Plant standard peach trees about 12-14 ft. apart. Peach trees are not available in CA, CO, OR.

This item ships only in the fall.

As Good As I Remembered
Reviewed By: Matthew (Concord, California)
Our Elberta peach tree is only three years old, and we just had our first bearing season. The flavor of these peaches reminds me of the roadside fruit stands from my childhood in central California. This is what I've been missing. I can't go back to supermarket peaches now.

Dwarft Apple Tree
Reviewed By: James Dougherty (Lonf Beach, California)
March of 06 I ordered a Pixie Crunch apple tree. I got a William's Pride. Gurney, great choice. I would rate the apples from this tree as the best I have eaten. 09 is the first year it produced and they are about four inches big very firm and very sweet. I love them.
