It could be my tree is mislabeled. Let me give you a bit more of a
description so as to be able to determine if we're talking about the same
variety tree. I got this Reliance from Burnt Ridge, planted spring 2006. My
Reliance was also loaded with blossoms (non-showy). It bloomed later than
all my other varieties (about a week later than most). I thinned it hard
after petal fall and thinned some more a few weeks later, as I did other
varieties. Like yours, mine also ripened before Redhaven, about a week
before.
If it was the only tree ripened peach I'd ever eaten, I'd rave about it.
The amount of sugar and other issues of quality in a peach can be greatly affected by soil, weather, and especially sun exposure as most of you probably know so it should not come as a surprise that the same cultivar would perform differently in different locations.
