Reliance Peach Scionwood
History:Ā Reliance peachesĀ were developed in a breeding program at the AgriculturalĀ
Extension Station in New Hampshire, where it was grown from seed in 1956. In 1961, the Reliance seedling got its first trial by fire, or ice in this case, as a severe cold spell dropped temperatures toĀ -32Ā°C. That summer only Reliance produced fruit and it was clear that this was a cold hardy winner. This tenacious peach was released in 1964.
Why We Grow It:Ā Reliance is a very hardy variety that can still fruit after a winter low of -32Ā°C, perfect for Canadian growers. The fruit is medium-sized, the skin is a dull red colour over yellow, and the flesh is bright yellow with freestone pit. It also tastes great and the fruit can be eaten fresh or used in baking and preserves.
