Belle of Georgia Peach Tree

Absolutely -- it's a dwarf size, so it would be easy to manage. This excellent article will answer your questions and provide good advice. Please see "Growing Fruit Trees in Containers" //www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/fruit-trees-in-containers-pt1

We appreciate you reaching out to us. We use several different rootstocks, depending upon the desired result and what is available. For that reason, we're unable to guarantee a specific rootstock.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.

You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

We live in upstate NY and they are planted in an orchard. We do not cover and they are very vigorous and grow well. We had some peaches the second year.

I have a number of Georgia Belle peach trees. Most of them display tiny peaches by their third year, but it varies based on the soil, the season the tree was planted, and whether the new tree was bare root or already potted. The latter is better. Soil and hydration can make a difference too. Some of my Belle's have died before production; most survive. You should have peaches by your fourth year, though.

Location and climate can make a difference, too. I live In Virginia. YMMV.

Good Luck.

No. It depends on the particular tree, the weather and whether it's sufficiently hydrated. A better answer yet is whether you obtain a bare root tree, or a potted one. The latter is more likely to survive than a just a bare root specimen.

Carla - I cannot answer your query about the space between tangerines and peaches, because my climate in Northern Virginia doesn't allow for tangerines as it's a tad on the cold side. I'm responding only because we otherwise grow mostly the same crops: peaches (about a dozen), raspberries, and blueberries. I generally tend to keep all my crops separate from the smaller variety, so plant blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries separately from the tree. I also plant persimmon, plum, apple and nectarine trees.
The biggest challenge in my area is getting the right mix of fungicide, insecticide and and soap sprays to cope with the various local issues.
Incidentally, the Bell of Georgia is one of my favorites. Billy

At this time, we only have the semi-dwarf variety available, but we recommend checking back with us in the spring. If you're planning to pot the tree, the semi-dwarf can still be a great option with proper pruning and container care. Let us know if you’d like any tips on container growing!

That will depend upon which option you choose. Please see the "Choose an option" dropdown menu near the top of the page, which will show you the various sizes/options that are available.

It is a freestone peach (also known as melting peach,) meaning that the flesh separates easily from the peach pit.
