Reliance Peach

Reliance Peach Tree

Reliance is considered the hardiest variety of peach trees. Flush with soft pink spring blossoms, this medium to large freestone peach ripens in mid-summer. Dark green foliage follows blossom time, lasting through the season and turning yellow in fall. Fruit has yellow skin with a red blush and bright yellow flesh which is soft, sweet, and juicy. So tasty, fresh from the tree! Excellent in cooking, baking, canning, and freezing. This tree is self-pollinating, however it will set a heavier crop if a different peach variety is growing nearby. Use as an accent in your landscape or plant an orchard! Reliance is not particular about pH or soil type. Well suited and tolerant of air pollution and urban settings. Does not tolerate standing water. Avoid planting peach trees in the same soil where other stone fruits have been grown recently. Best pruned in late winter or early spring, following the threat of extreme cold. Halford rootstock.
