Lower Peach Tree is an unincorporated community in Wilcox County, Alabama, United States.
The community was named for a peach tree which stood near the original town site (the town's name was prefixed with "Lower" to avoid repetition with another place called "Peach Tree" in the state).[1] This town was devastated by an F4 Tornado on March 21, 1913, killing 27 people.
Lower Peach Tree is located at 31.8407°N -87.5453°W and has an elevation of 190feet.
Lower Peach Tree is featured as the setting of "Poachers", the titular story of Tom Franklin's short story collection.[2]
