Their harvest time is anywhere from late July to September, depending on the climate.

Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlant your Elberta Peach Tree in well-drained soil in a location where it will receive full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day). Protect your Elberta from heavy winds by planting on the sunniest side of a building or your home. When you're ready to plant, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Then, place your Elberta and cover the roots with soil, watering occasionally as you go along to remove any air pockets. Finally, gently pat the soil down until the roots are completely covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eKeep the soil around your Elberta Peach Tree moist. Generally, watering once to two times a week will be sufficient. Once the soil around the tree feels dry a few inches down, water the tree again. During times of extreme heat, your tree may need additional water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellowing of the leaves is a sign of overwatering while leaves that are dry and brown can be a sign of underwatering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilization: \u003c\/strong\u003eAfter your tree has been in the ground for 6 weeks, apply 1 lb. of a balanced fertilizer formula such as 12-12-12. In addition, apply ¾ lb. of fertilizer in the spring before the tree pushes out new growth. Repeat this process in the summer and fall as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eYour Elberta Peach Tree will need to be pruned the first two years in order to maintain an open center shape and encourage fruit production. Prune your tree in late winter or early spring using pruning shears, making your cuts at a 45-degree angle. Trim away any broken\/dead branches and any that are criss-crossing by making your cut right below the dead wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip: \u003c\/strong\u003eOnce your tree begins to fruit, thin your peaches out to allow space to grow and mature properly. Thinning out your peaches will help to increase your overall production. Peaches on the top and outside of the tree will likely be ready to pick first. They will be fully ripe when there is no green left on the skin and they come off with a slight twist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":42706712592446,"sku":"31083","price":150.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":13940765032500,"sku":"10961","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13940765065268,"sku":"10962","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":13940765098036,"sku":"10963","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":13940765130804,"sku":"10964","price":113.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":13940765163572,"sku":"10054","price":127.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":13940765196340,"sku":"10965","price":178.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1-2 ft.
