The town of Elberta, Utah, United States is named after this cultivar.
This tree survived a 4 day streak of minus 22 degrees F during its second winter after planting. It seems to be able to set fruit even after 4 or 5 mornings with temps below freezing while in bloom. The fruit is sweet and juicy and holds up well in canning. I recommend this tree for Northern growers who have not been able to grow other varieties of peaches. It requires thinning if you want larger fruit.
This is one of the most delicious peaches I have ever eaten. It was very juicy, nice and sweet with the perfect amount of tartness for my taste.
