Common Name: Reliance Peach
Reliance peach combines pink spring flowers with yellow-fleshed, freestone fruit. The cultivar is valued for cold hardiness and is often considered where winters are too severe for less hardy peaches.
Tree size depends on rootstock, pruning, and training. Seasonal ripening dates also vary with the local climate.
Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and water during establishment and fruit development. Plan the spacing around the rootstock and intended training system.
