July Elberta Peach Tree

The July Elberta peach (Prunus persica 'July Elberta') is a popular and early-ripening variety known for its large, firm peaches with a sweet, juicy flavor and a vibrant yellow skin with a red blush. This variety is prized for its versatility, making it ideal for fresh eating, canning, and baking. The tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it prefers temperate climates. The July Elberta peach is self-pollinating but benefits from cross-pollination to enhance fruit production. It requires regular watering, annual pruning, and protection from pests and diseases to ensure healthy growth and bountiful harvests. Typically, this variety begins to bear fruit in mid to late summer.
