I've been growing Siberian C seedling peaches for about 6-7 years. No issues with hardiness, fairly productive, seem to be disease resistant tho I have gotten peach leaf curl on a few. The peaches are the size of a plum, greenish tint, freestone—they are by no means Georgia peaches but about half of them can be eaten out of hand, & the rest are on the mealy side but make a wonderful peach wine. I haven't been able to produce a really good juice with them yet but that may have to do with using a steam juicer rather than some sort of cold press system.

You're not alone.
I am trialing peaches in Zone 4, Maine.
6 trees went in the ground in 2006.
2 Intrepid, 2 Reliance, 2 Contender.
As of last week, the all survived the winter fine; no die-back, totally unprotected.
No fruit / buds yet. Maybe next year.
Madison is the only other one, maybe Veteran, that I might try, from the older stuff.
Some of the Flamin' Fury stuff looks interesting, but I don't know if anyone has any experience with it in zone 4.
If you come up with a reliable zone 4 peach or nectarine, PLEASE post it !!
Thanks
