Product Description
Loved by generations of gardeners, Elberta Peach Tree produces some of the best peaches for canning. Introduced in Georgia in the late 1800's, Elberta Peach produces large yields of firm, yellow-fleshed, freestone fruits. While ideal for canning, they're equally delicious for eating fresh. The rose-blushed fruits have a wonderful aroma and are honey-sweet and bursting with flavor. Ornamental, with stunning pink blossoms in the springtime, this peach tree is a good choice for the edible landscape. It's self-pollinating, but planting another peach tree nearby often increases the crop size. Ripens in mid to late September. Zones 5-8.

- Growth Rate: Medium growth rate.
- Pruning: At planting, cut the main whip stem back by up to one third at a fat bud and prune side branches until you have removed about a third of the total wood. Also, trim away any broken or damaged roots. This will help balance the branch structure with the remaining roots and get your tree off to a healthier start. Second and third year pruning determines shape and prevents development of bad crotches. Pruning of fruit trees is best done during the dormant period. Summer pruning, except for the removal of water sprouts or "suckers", tends to weaken the trees. The first year the height of the lowest branches should be established by cutting off ones that grow lower down on the trunk than desired. The remaining side limbs may be shortened but retained, if well distributed. No more than two should be left that arise near any one point on the trunk because of the danger of crowding and splitting later on. Peaches bear fruit on one year old limbs. Prune in an open vase form. Avoid several limbs growing from nearly the same point on the trunk or weak crotches will result. Space the principal limbs out over as much area of the trunk as possible.
