About Fredericksburg Peaches
Fredericksburg Peaches
Peaches are the leading deciduous fruit crop grown in Texas, and according to the Aggie Horticulture center and it is estimated that there are more than one million trees planted statewide. Average annual production exceeds one million bushels.
Gillespie County is one of the largest peach-producing counties in Texas with some 600 acres of trees. Roadside stands line many of the roads leading into Fredericksburg, with a major concentration along Highway 290 between Fredericksburg and Stonewall and along Highway 87 South. The peach season runs from mid-May through the first week of August. Several orchards offer pick-your-own. The Hill Country Council produces a listing of its members in a brochure entitled, “Fredericksburg-Stonewall Peaches”, which is normally available at the Fredericksburg Visitor Information Center or visit www.texaspeaches.com.
