One of the most popular peach trees, Prunus persica 'Elberta' (Peach) is an heirloom variety from the 1870s, adorned with profuse, fragrant, pink blossoms in early-mid spring. They are followed by large, yellow freestone peaches, flushed with red in mid-late summer. The tree produces as much as 150 pounds of sweet and juicy fruit every year. Perfect for eating, baking and canning. Self-pollinating, this peach tree forms a rounded crown with upwardly-reaching branches clothed in lanceolate, dark green, deciduous leaves. The foliage provides a deep yellow fall display.
