Peaches Items = 0   Price = $0.00 View Purchases

NOTE: Our Fall 2009 catalog of fruit trees is now available. We will accept orders for shipment beginning in late November 2009, when our trees go dormant. We will lift and ship as weather permits.

Please feel free to call or e-mail us if you have an issue we can address. Please note that our trees are grafted and grown here and are dug and shipped to you as ordered. Since we do not store dormant trees in cold storage, our shipping season is determined by the local weather. We are also offering this year a small selection of peach trees. The peaches we offer are budded onto Lovell rootstocks and offer exceptional flavor. All budwood comes from our orchard and these selections represent some of the best we grow. We will have other varieties in years to come.

   
A small fruit with an incomparable peach flavor reminiscent of the fabled Late Crawford. It is excellent for eating out of hand and drying.
   
CRAWFORD One of the best yellow fleshed varieties, but not a heavy bearer, trees are vigorous, hardy and disease resistant. Late maturing, richly flavored. Rarely found today but well worth growing for the connoisseur.

 
ELBERTA is another classic Georgia peach from the 1880s. This is a large, yellow, freestone that ripens in late August. It is generally considered to be the standard of excellence in succulent yellow fruited peaches.

 
GEORGE IV is a white freestone peach with greenish white skin and a pinkish blush. Melting, juicy aromatic, richly flavored flesh. One of the three best white-fleshed peaches of all time. Downing exclaimed, "remarkable rich luscious flavor…No garden should be without it." Small, but when well thinned, the fruit is of good size with attractive gold and brownish red markings. Juicy, aromatic white flesh is richly flavored. One of America’s oldest peaches, first obtained from a Mr. Gill in New York City in 1820.

 
The GEORGIA BELLE peach originated in Georgia in the 1880s. It is a large, white, freestone peach with enough acidity to offer a sprightly subacid flavor. Great for fresh eating, freezing, and jam.
   
HONEY DEW HALE is a large, white peach with some faint yellow streaks in the flesh. It is delicately flavored and is said to have been William Faukner's favorite. He brought the peach to Virginia from Mississippi. Ripens in August.

 
INDIAN BLOOD CLING is a large, clingstone, red peach with white flesh shot through with red. It ripens late and is excellent for eating fresh or for culinary use. The trees are high yielding and dependable. Ripens in August.
   
Lemon Cling is an heirloom fruit grown at Monticello and touted as one of the best flavored cling peaces.
   
OLDMIXON FREE originated in the very early 19th century , noted as one of the finest flavored peaches grown. Trees are large, somewhat shy bearers. White flesh, red around stone, tender, melting texture, sprightly flavor.

 
O'HENRY is a large, yellow, freestone peach, highly flavored, that ripens in late August. It is excellent for eating fresh and freezing.

 
PEREGRINE is a white-fleshed, highly flavored peach, perhaps the most popular peach grown in Britain. High acid makes it a lively taste experience. It is wonderful for eating fresh and makes a marvelous jam.
   
SUN HIGH is a large, 2.5-3” fruit. Medium thick skin with 75% to 100% full red color. Very firm, fine-grained, freestone flesh. Quite uniform in ripening without soft sutures. Usually harvested in two pickings. Excellent shipper. Hardy, upright tree becoming spreading. Numerous fruit buds require some thinning. Large showy, self-fruitful flowers. Very productive. Ripens around August 21. Developed from an open-pollinated seedling of Sun high.

 
SUNCREST PEACH is a large, firm peach that holds well during shipping. The fruit is uniform and highly colored with excellent quality; it is a freestone peach. There is a red blush over its yellow skin. The fruit is hardy in cold sections of the North. Suncrest is the flavorful, juicy peach immortalized by the book Epitaph for a Peach: four seasons on my family farm, by David Mas Masumoto (1995). The tree-ripe harvest is late July, it has frost-hardy blossoms and is a consistent producer. This variety originated in Fresno, California and was introduced in 1959. It is self-fruitful. The trees are susceptible to bacterial spot and should not be planted where this is a problem.

 
WHITE CHAMPION is a delicious white-fleshed peach that ripens in mid-August. This is an old reliable variety, but just about the best for home use. The fruit is freestone, sweet and fine flavored. The fruits are large. Probably the best early white peach, all things considered. Fruit is rich and luscious in flavor, white, with a red cheek. Tree is highly productive and very dependable. Bred for disease resistance. Ripens in mid-September. Moderately hardy. Bears well in Zone 4 if given some winter protection. A valuable fruit for all uses; buds very hardy; freestone. It grows best in Zones 5-8.
   
   
WINBLO is a medium-sized, yellow, freestone peach, highly flavored and good for cooking or for eating fresh.
