Redskin Elberta Peach Tree
Description
The Redskin Elberta Peach tree is a cross between two favorites, the Redhaven and Elberta. With showy, pink flowers in the spring and bearing a large crop midseason.
Redskin Elberta peaches are firm, with sweet and incredibly juicy fruit. The skin is covered mostly in deep red with a yellow background. These are high-quality, all-purpose freestone peaches – excellent in pies and preserves!
This self-fertile variety is very vigorous and fast-growing. The Redskin Elberta is also frost-hardy and drought resistant, making this variety a great choice for the Midwest and Southeast climates.
