Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Peach trees grow best in all day sun, and may need thinning to reduce fruit count, to allow remaining fruits to reach full size. They are best grown in a slightly acidic, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent water. 

Many peach varieties are self-pollinating, but even the peaches that are listed as self-pollinating benefit from another variety nearby to increase production and fruit size.

Additional Notes about Elberta Peach:


Elberta peach is a self-pollinating cultivar, so it doesn't require a second plant nearby to set fruit.
