Hi Gang;
 
Today's question is about peach trees.
 
I see 3 varieties listed as 'hardy'.
 
Reliance   -   Intrepid   -   Contender
 
All say 'zone 4'.
Descriptions vary, some claim bud & flower hardiness, too.
That's where my big orchard is; zone 4 central Maine.
Do any of you have first hand experience with peaches in southern zone 4 or colder?
I intend to trial 2 trees of each, starting in spring '06.
Anyone been there ??
 
Thanks
 
Richard Murphy
