Georgia peach

Atlanta's signature stone-fruit

A Georgia peach is a peach grown in the U.S. state of Georgia, which has marketed itself as the Peach State since the late nineteenth century.

The phrase also describes an attractive young woman from Georgia, playing on the fruit's association with sweetness and the rosy complexion of sun-ripened peaches: She's a real Georgia peach.
