We are in Rochester, NY, which is about 80 miles east of Niagara Falls 
area..Zone 5/6.

We have a wonderful semi dwarf Starfire Peach that has a very flavorful, 
juicy, sweet peach. It bore the next year after planting 5 ft trees. We had 
no winter damage on this tree with that extra cold and snowy winter two 
years ago.

The peaches freeze very well- keeping flavor for more than a year in the 
freezer in freezer bags. It is an early peach, mid-August; deep red burgundy 
blush; fruit is almost mango colored. Easy to peel when ripe.  The only 
disadvantage is that it could be more freestone- the flesh seems to squish 
more easily than come off the stone cleanly. We got more than a bushell of 
peaches- softball sized- this year.

We ordered it from Hill Top Nursery, 1-800-253-2911- but they are now only 
selling commercial rather than to hobby orchards. Perhaps they could tell 
you who has some in your area.

You may contact me off list if you would like more information.
