 Big Peach [gone]
Byron, GA
 Peach Water Tower
Clanton, AL
The Giant Peach in San Jose was installed in 2019 in front of the NetApp building. [map]

The Peach Water Tower in Gaffney was built in 1981. The leaf itself is 60 feet long. South Carolina produces more peaches than Georgia. There are lots of peach stands on the stretch of I-85 where this water tower is located. Gaffney is home to an annual Peach Festival. For more, see this website. [map]

The Big Peach in Byron stood between I-75 and the Big Peach Antiques Mall. It was 75 feet tall, 28 feet in diameter and was mounted on a 100-foot-tall pole. It was installed in 1987 and was made from vinyl over an aluminum frame. It was illuminated at night. In 2011, the Big Peach was knocked from its pole by high winds. It was replaced with a big sign. Byron also had a Peach Water Tower. It was later painted white with the City's name on it.

The Peach Water Tower in Clanton is 120 feet tall. It is taller than the one in Gaffney but not as large. It was built in 1992 by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company which also built the Gaffney Peach. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

2024:
The Big Peach is about 20 feet tall and stands in front of a produce market. The Peach and obelisk were built in 1954 and advertised for Yates Orchards. They were inspired by the Trylon and Perisphere from the 1939 New York World's Fair. They were repainted between 2006 and 2010 and again around 2022. The business was renamed the Big Peach Market by 1980. [map]

Peach Park
Clanton, AL

 2020:
Peach Park features another giant peach which has been there since at least 2005. I believe it was installed by the Peach Park market and sandwich shop next door. The market has been there since 1984. The peach has been repainted at least several times and previously had two leaves. [map]

This Fruit Basket was installed on a 1961 Chevrolet Corvair truck. The foam sculpture was created by Faith Schexnayder who parks this vehicle next to her house/studio, Flat Fork Studios. It was created in 2007 for Austin's First Night New Year's Eve celebration where the truck appeared as a Carmen Miranda float. The fruit has since been removed as the vehicle is used as a daily driver and for other events.

Giant Fruit
Sunnyvale, CA
These Giant Fruit sculptures are a tribute to Sunnyvale's agricultural heritage. There were originally six aluminum sculptures including a pear, an apple, a plum, a peach, an apricot, and a pair of cherries. The plum and peach are gone now and the stems on the cherries were broken off sometime between 2008 and 2014. The "Fruit Gigantica" sculptures were created by Gerald Heffernon and installed in 2003 in Plaza del Sol. For more, see this website. [map]
