Elberta Peach Tree

A Shorter Version of a Standard Peach Classic Elberta is a tried-and-true Georgia peach tree from the 1800s. But with today's smaller backyard landscapes, the Dwarf Elberta Peach is a better fit. Even though it typically grows only to 10 feet tall and wide, a single mature tree can yield up to 3 bushels of sweet peaches! Melt-in-Your-Mouth Goodness The University of Georgia describes the Elberta Peach as having a "melting" flesh texture. This is "peach talk" for how these fruits are classified. A "melting" flesh texture means that the fruits soften as they ripen, so by the time you're ready to harvest them, their juiciness seems to melt in your mouth! These kinds of "melting flesh" peaches -- such as Elberta -- are best for fresh snacking. Simply walk outside, pick a peach off your own tree and enjoy! Snacking, Baking and Canning Peaches contain natural antioxidants, they are low in calories, and they're high in fiber and vitamin C. Each luscious fruit is packed with healthy benefits!
