With such a great collection, it would be fun to
know if you've planted seed from them. You have potential for sorting out some
quality hardy peaches, from the look of that.

fruit
buds.

is
tender & does not pack/ship well.

[NAFEX] Reliance peach
Jerry:
I'm really impressed that you were able to fruit a peach tree
in
Warroad. How big was the pit you had the peach tree in? How long
did
you have it before it fruited? I've been thinking about your
accomplishment
and I will try it myself. Are there more hardy
peaches?
I bought a Reliance peach years ago but it died the first
winter.
I was going to keep working but last October I was fishing
in
the Rainy River, hit a log and my boat sank. I swam to shore,
stood
up and had a heart attack. Fell back into the river and
floated
down stream in the dark for three hours in a daze. Finally
came
around and swam to shore again. Decided it was time to retire.
