Description

Reliance Peach was bred with one goal in mind: to bring high-quality peaches to colder regions where traditional varieties often struggle. The result is a remarkably hardy tree that still produces sweet, juicy, full-flavored fruit.

Ripening mid to late season, Reliance peaches develop a warm red blush over golden-yellow flesh with a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity. It’s a confidence-building choice for growers who want a peach that can handle real winters without sacrificing flavor.

Overview

  • Cold-hardy yellow peach with excellent flavor.
  • Freestone to semi-freestone fruit—great for fresh eating and preserving.
  • Reliable productivity even after cold winters.
  • Mid to late-season ripening.
  • Self-fertile—no pollination partner required.
