["Erdman, Jim" <ErdmanJ@uwstout.edu>]

We had a Reliance tree or two when we lived near Tomah, in SW Wisconsin, zone 
5.  We also knew a few others who had planted from a couple to a dozen or 
more of them (this was back in the late 1970s).  Ours lived long enough to 
produce peaches for two seasons, then it died.  The boys ate all the peaches 
green one year, and the other year we had a couple of delicious peaches, not 
the best ever, but better than grocery store ones.  We were on a heavy clay 
soil in the Driftless (unglaciated) part of SW WI.
 
Jim, now farther north in Menomonie, WI, trying various seedling peaches.


                Reliance - almost no flavor - some say with enough minerals 
taste becomes good.
