Elberta Peach Tree
Prunus persica 'Early Elberta'

- The Elberta is cold hardy down to -10 degrees, so it thrives up north or down south.
- They're self-fertile, but we recommend planting your Elberta Trees in pairs to increase production.

Elberta Peach Tree Care
View Full Planting & Care Instructions
Sunlight
The Elberta grows best in full sun (at least six hours of sunlight per day).
Watering
Generally, watering once to twice a week is sufficient. Make sure the water saturates the soil without leaving standing water. Once the soil around the tree has dried about 3 inches down, water the tree again.
Fertilizing
Apply 1 lb. of a balanced fertilizer formula, such as 12-12-12, after your tree has been planted for six weeks. In addition, apply ¾ lb. of fertilizer in the spring before the tree pushes out new growth. Repeat this process in the summer and fall.
Delicious Peaches in the First Season
Why Elberta Peach Trees?
Elberta Peaches are the world's most famous peaches because of their abundance of taste, attractive color and disease resistance. These trees give you very large peaches that are great for canning, snacking and baking.
Even better? Elberta Peach Trees are the most disease resistant peach trees available. And these trees are even insect resistant, meaning you can grow your peaches organically. No more harsh chemicals or sprays.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
Because we’ve nurtured your tree, continually pruning back to encourage more branches, you'll see dramatic growth. The additional limbs produce significantly more fruit and produce it much more quickly. Since we’ve done the work ahead of time, you will be able to start picking peaches after the first season, or as soon as the first year under optimal conditions. We even give them one last pruning before shipping, at no additional cost to you. This process will also ensure that your tree is dwarf-sized, and the fruit is easy to harvest!
Elberta Peach Trees are self fertile, but normally planted in pairs, so they can pollinate each other. This pollination causes your trees to produce more fruit - which means more beautiful bounties for you. We recommend cross-pollinating your Elberta with the Red Haven Peach Tree.
Elberta Peach Trees grow rapidly and mature quickly. The faster they grow, the sooner they reward you with delicious fruit. Order your very own Elberta today!

I expected a stronger tree. . . but what arrived was a very thin one branch and I'm afraid it might break in the wind
I can't say anything yet, let's see how it takes root and grows
Elberta peach tree.
We opened the carton as soon as it arrived, dug a hole in the ground according to the instructions in the email, and planted it. We were surprised that it already had buds flowering. It has been a few days and I see new buds emerging and tiny leaves unfurling. It’s a delight to see the tree starting to take root so soon. I am hoping it will withstand the wave of cold weather coming. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend’The Fast Growing Trees’ to anyone who wants to add trees in their lives!
So far, so good
Peach tree is blooming. Not sure it’s big enough for peaches as it looks like the branches would break if it grows any this year, but it’s pretty in bloom.
Positive Experience, Delicious Peaches
Purchased 2 Elberta Peach trees in September 2022 and they are both thriving. I am not the world's best pruner but last summer, both trees had an abundance of peaches but it was a race to see if the squirrels would enjoy them before we did -- we won although I believe they got their fair share, too, unfortunately. This year we are putting a netting structure over both of our trees so we get to enjoy the entire crop. The peaches were delicious and made the best homemade jam! I would definitely recommend FGT!!
Needs more chill time than zone 9 provides
This tree has the sweetest fruit. I got three peaches within the first couple months of receiving it. I grow it in a container on my patio (FL zone 9). This season it has had a hard time coming out of dormancy and I didn’t get any fruit. Reading more about this species, they require more chill time during the winter than my zone could provide. I am giving it another year and then I may have to give up on it. But overall, very nice tree, well packaged and quick delivery!
