...from the rich orchard heritage of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains Dixiland Peach |
|
|
|
DIXILAND is a good cultivar for the Southeast. The large freestone peaches are yellow skinned with a red blush, yellow flesh and great quality. Late midseason bearing, showy flowers, productive and vigorous. They also require heavier pruning than any other fruit trees to maintain size and encourage new growth. Cannot tolerate extreme winter cold or late frost. Peach leaf curl, brown rot, peach scab and peach tree borer can be a problem. Ripens three days before Elberta. Requires 750 hours of chilling. Recommended for the cooler parts of the Gulf Coast and northward. |
