A true American heirloom, Elberta delivers the classic peach experience with large, golden-yellow fruit, a beautiful red blush, and rich, honeyed sweetness balanced by a touch of tang. For over 150 years, Elberta Peach Trees have produced juicy, aromatic freestone peaches that separate easily from the pit, making them perfect for fresh eating, cobblers, canning, freezing, and preserves. Self-fertile and dependably productive, this time-tested favorite brings generations of home-orchard flavor straight to your backyard.
