We know you are supposed to remove all blossoms the first year, but two blossoms stayed and turned into two luscious peaches. We were so pleased. We will feed it as instructed and look forward to next year and more peaches, as the tree grows.
Looks beautiful and grew a lot for the first year even with the heat and drought. We have kept it watered and will feed this month for next year's crop.

Questions & Answers
Have a question? Ask owners.
Start typing and see existing answers.
Why did you choose this?
Can I plant this dwarf tree in big pot?
It depends on the depth of the pot, you will need a minimum of 18". My Burbank Elberta has been in a 30 gallon pot for 4 years and is doing just fine. Potting will however reduce the yield of productively.
What is the chill hours requirement for this peach tree?
Thank you for your question! Burbank July Elberta Peach requires 800 chill hours.
Has it been your experience that this type of peach keep it's flavor well when canned? How does it compare in taste to Redhaven, Sunhaven, Sentry, or Delicious varieties (in taste)?
It compares well with all of them it keeps its flavor when canned. Its a great all around peach.
Is this a dwarf tree?
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.
Is this peach stone free?
We appreciate you reaching out to us. Peaches always have a pit but it is a freestone meaning the fruit pulls away from the pit easily.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!
What is a bare-root tree?
A bare-root tree is dormant and shipped in moist packaging, without soil. When planted properly, a bare-root tree will "wake up" out of dormancy and begin sprouting new leaves within 3 weeks or so.
What are the chilling hours on the Burbank peaches?
The chill hours for this peach are 800.
Will peach tree produce fruit the first year?
The Burbank peach trees produced a few peaches the first year, but I picked them when they were small to let the tree put it’s energy back to the tree. The second year the peach tree was much better.
I planted this tree last year and I had a lot of blooms this year and looks like I have peaches already. Do you think they will just fall off?
Anytime you are dealing with Mother Nature and trying to grow or raise something, you are dealing with a multiplicity of variables. Temperatures, pollination, winds, the health of the tree water, fertilizer, etc. Not all blooms transpire into fruit and all of them will fall off. Even when it appears there are lots of small peaches, they can and do drop off after a short time. What is left will hopefully develop into a full-sized peach and then, there may be too many and they will have to be thinned to ensure the size
When is the month to plate this tree?
Early fall planting is probably the best. Warm sunny days and cool nights. Makes watering much easier and still allows time for the roots to establish themselves. Spring and summer will work also, but you must keep adequate water amounts in the summer.

Nicely packaged
The tree came well packaged and unharmed. The roots were still very damp and the itself was not injured at all. I planted it in a 45 gallon nursery pot and it is really growing, faster than I expected. It is nice and tall with many leaves already. We might have peaches next summer.

Growing nicely
Growing nicely, Just hope it is truly a Burbank July Alberta (free stone) as opposed to the one that turned out to be some sort of cling type that i had to dig out.
It seemed like a nice choice especially for my growing zone.
Just wanted a peach tree This one had decent reviews
Self pollination and grows well in my growing zone
I like July Elberta Peach Trees as they are easy to take care of, they taste good and the pit is very easy to remove.
