Developed in the late 19th century, the Elberta peach remains one of the most popular and widely grown peach varities in the United States. Known for its sweet, succulent fruit with the tell-tale blush covering its skin when perfectly ripe. This fast-growing deciduous fruit tree is a great choice for home gardeners and orchard growers alike.

  • Fruit ripens late July to early August, later in colder climates
  • Bears fruit in 3 - 4 years
  • Displays fragrant pink blossoms in the early spring, attracting pollinators
  • Is self-fertile

History/Lore

This variety of peach was first introduced to the world around 1875 by Samuel H. Rumph. The tree, which first grew in his family’s orchard in Macon County, Georgia, was a result of an Early Crawford pollenating a Chinese Cling. A visitor had asked the name of the variety. Because Rumph had no answer, she promptly named it after his wife (Clara Elberta Moore).
