Heck, I don’t know of another peach tree in the entire Atlanta region.

I know of another peach tree on Peachtree where there is no sign of kudzu anywhere, but I’m afraid to say where it is.

Up until recently there were 2 peachtrees in front of Shepherd Center at the junction with Piedmont hospital about halfway up cardiac hill. In this past year I think both have died. They were little more than 8 feet tall thin trunks with one limb each but they did put out peaches each year.

Huntington Arms on Peachtree Street at 26th Street has 2 peach trees hidden under oak and magnolia trees. Neighborhood boys steal the fruit every summer upholding a fine old tradition.

While not actually “on” peactree, there is a peach tree next to Jock’s and Jills on 10th street about 60 feet from the intersection of 10th and peachtree. It is right next to the driveway on 10th that goes into the pay lot behind Jocks and jills

just for the record….Peachtree Street is not named that cacme from an overwhelming amount of peach trees that were once there.

Rather, “peachtree” street was not named for a peach tree of any sort, but for a large Creek settlement called Standing Pitch Tree after a tall lone tree. Reportedly, the Creek used trees with fresh pitch (the sap of a pine tree) for solemnizing vows and treaties. The “pitch tree” was corrupted to “peach tree”, perhaps by mistake, or because it sounded better to English speakers.

Your peach tree on Peachtree St. story asks “Have you seen another one?”.

Sure. In the front yard of my condo, Huntington Arms on the corner of Peachtree St. and Huntington Rd. We even had a small crop this year.

Our tree is hard to see from the street as it’s obscured by other plant material. We’re at 1765 Peachtree St., NE.
