{"product_id":"peach-belle-of-georgia","title":"Belle of Georgia Peach","description":"\u003cp\u003eBelle of Georgia is an heirloom white-fleshed freestone peach with medium to large red-blushed fruit and excellent fresh-eating quality. It is self-fruitful, so one tree can produce a crop, but it still benefits from strong bee activity during bloom. Train the tree to an open center, provide full sun and excellent drainage, and thin developing peaches for better fruit size. Its high chill requirement may lead to inconsistent crops after warm winters in the lower South, so local performance should be presented with care. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePrunus persica 'Belle of Georgia'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rootstock-dependent; commonly 12–20 ft tall × Rootstock-dependent; commonly 12–20 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e High chill; commonly listed near 800 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fruitful; a second peach is not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early spring; flowers are vulnerable to late freezes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid- to late summer; Clemson lists Georgia Belle around July 20–31 in the SC Sandhills\/Ridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to large white-fleshed freestone peaches with red-blushed skin; excellent fresh-eating quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular moisture with excellent drainage; peaches do not tolerate wet roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous deciduous grafted fruit tree with spreading canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Train to an open center; prune annually and thin young fruit for size and limb protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home orchard, edible landscape, fresh eating and freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers support pollinators; ripe fruit attracts wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant size, harvest timing and performance vary with climate, rootstock where applicable, soil, pruning and care.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Towns Edge Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45139884540112,"sku":"FRT-1010-05G","price":58.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/6954\/1584\/files\/BelleOfGeorgiaPeachCgpt1.png?v=1788635253","url":"https:\/\/townsedgenursery.com\/products\/peach-belle-of-georgia","provider":"Towns Edge Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
