Hello Richard!
We have been growing peaches in
zone 4b/5a for about 8 years. We planted about 10 new varieties
in April of 2004 and have had good success with the following
varieties:
Flamin' Fury PF1, PF7, PF24, Red
Haven, John Boy, FA59 Coral Star, Encore, Laurol, Contender and Sugar Giant
being new varieties that are now have been through one winter with no winter
kill. Earliglow, Madison, Starking Delicious, Reliance, Summer
Pearl, Redskin and Stark Finale are our older varieties and have been through
-10 degrees with no problem.
Our Flamin' Fury are from Paul
Friday in Michigan, but were purchased through Adam's County Nursery in
Pennsylvania. There stock is grown in Sussex County, Delaware which
is actually zone 6/7. You can visit Adam's County site at http://www.acnursery.com and Paul
Friday at http://www.flaminfury.com/.
Our older trees came from Stark
Bros. in Missouri. They have seen several harsh winters and have weathered
well. Hope some of the info helps.
