Peach Belle of Georgia 5 Gal.

The Belle of Georgia peach, part of the Rosaceae family (and a distant cousin of the rose), was one of the first varieties of peaches to be grown in Georgia back in the early 1880s. Peaches originally became the premier cash crop of Georgia around 1870 when a tiny little vermin called the “boll weevil” wiped out cotton crops throughout Georgia forcing farmers to seek new agricultural commodities.
