Reliance Peach--Tree Ships 3 to 4 Feet Tall, 12 Inch Container A peach called "Reliance" we have added to our nursery, gardeners in the colder regions of the country now with one more tree to consider, this one a worthwhile contender. This tree will be shipped potted in soil about 4 feet tall. Self fertile. If you wish to pair it with the Elberta peach, the Reliance ripens about 2 to 3 weeks prior to the Elberta, thus a nice way to extend your harvest. The Reliance peach is late blooming, one that can withstand cold and frost quite well. Consider this peach if your cold continues into the spring, its need for 1000 chill hours keeping the tree dormant as long as possible, thus minimizing the chance of the flowers coming too soon. The fruit is sweet in taste, a flavorful yellow fleshed freestone.
