Doug,
Someone told me that before so I got some Bailey Peach seed from Harrow
and quickly learned that Bailey will not stand up to Minnesota Winters.
Every one that grew winterkills down to the snow-line every year, even after
our mildest winters - A mild Winter here doesn't drop below -25 F. Sib-C,
on the other hand, stands up quite well, even through our coldest Winters.
Go figure?
