If any Northerner on the list has grown dwarf peaches or nectarines (a la Bonanza, etc) in pots what cultivars have you found to have the best flavor?  Which cultivars have performed well for you?

 

Since I now have a garage that stays within 5 degrees of freezing during the winter it's probably time for me to try them again.  My figs do beautifully.  Stone fruit should, too.  Thanks.

Richard:

But there are also a few other peaches I've seen that reputedly do well in colder New England climates.  I'm in the process of adding three to my orchard here on the Maine Coast (Zone 5).  They may be worth adding to your mix:

Double Jewel
Encore
Nectar

If anyone else has had success with these varieties, I'm very interested in hearing how they've done for you.     I believe both Encore and Nectar have quite high chill requirements.
