Peach Elberta 5 Gal.

The Elberta Peach—one of the most popular varieties of peach trees—was first introduced in Georgia in 1875 by Samuel H. Rumph. Rumph, who introduced peach tree farming to the south around the turn of the century, first cultivated the Elberta Peach after he crossed an Early Crawford and Chinese Cling, which he later named “Elberta” in honor of his wife Clara Elberta Moore.
