Peach trees shipped about 3 to 4 feet tall
Early Elberta Peach is one great peach. Elberta peaches are large, taste is rich and sweet, flesh is freestone and you can do lots with it. Skin is golden yellow, flushed red where exposed to the sun. This peach variety ripens in late July, just in time for summertime picnics and homemade pie. Chill hours are 750 making it a reasonable choice in many parts of the country. Enjoy eating fresh, sliced in a bowl and covered with cream, canning, drying, juice and jams and jellies. Our fruit trees are shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start in orchard or garden. Trees are about four feet tall when shipped. Ripens early July.

Frequently Asked Questions
Something you gotta try, as suggested by one of my fruit tree suppliers, L.E. Cooke Company from Visalia California... “Plant 3 or 4 trees in the space of 1. We plant fruit trees at our homes for the purpose of harvesting the reward of incredibly delicious tree ripened fruit. Why not extend this pleasure from 2-3 weeks to 10 to 12 weeks?” How is that done you ask? Read further…
The homeowner can produce three of four different fruit tree crops in slightly more than the space of one tree. The trees should be planted in a triangle (or box for 4) 24-30 inches apart and at a slight outward angle. The center limbs are pruned so that crossing limbs are removed. Otherwise, normal care is all that is necessary.
Pick a combination of varieties that are similar in growth habit and foliage texture. Varieties can be selected for mild winter areas, traditional fruit growing areas, mountains or deserts. Why not have fruit all summer long?
Apples….red, green and yellow, or early, mid and late season. Apricots...June, July and August ripening. Cherries...early June ripening, mid June ripening and a sweet pollinator. Plums...red meat, purple meat and yellow meat.... I think you get the picture. Just have fun!
