Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You’ll get fruit with only one plant!
How do I find my Hardiness Zone?
Canada’s Plant Hardiness Zones will tell you which plants will do well in your particular climate. Each zone is determined by the lowest average winter temperature recorded in a given area. Hardiness Zone information is included on all tree and plant product pages, so you know instantly whether a certain plant is likely to succeed where you live. Natural Resources Canada provides helpful options to find your zone:
Scott Benson –
The tree has grown ten times in size within a year and is producing a significant amount of peaches!
Angeles Sitzes –
This is the second year for my tree and now it is in full bloom, looking forward to see hoy many peaches I will get. This will be the first harvest. So my review could be 5 stars or less, depending on harvest.
JAMES CHAPMAN –
I have had one standard Reliance that is now over 30 years old and is still bearing fruit. I handles very cold weather and is very reiiable. It does not revert to bi-annual fruit production. I now have two dwarf reliance peach trees and they are just starting to produce. This is on a Northern Virginia farm.
CHUCK POLLOCK –
The tree is doing great, and I have to admit that it impressed me. The second year it produced fruit. My family and I are very happy with it so far
MARK YAEGER –
2nd year had 3 peaches, very tasty. This spring had several hundred blossoms and it appears many set, hoping for a good harvest way ahead of expectations
JAMES BRAMER –
These never even budded, and I am frankly sick of losing a whole year every time the trees are crap.
Marvin Marvin –
Over several years we have had several peach trees. It survives the best of any in our growing zone between 4 and 5. The flavor is great, they are very juicy and sought out by our friends. We have recommended them to several people.
BART NELSON –
I followed the instructions and protected it, but it never leafed and after testing for any life this spring and not finding any, I pulled. I guess I pretty disappointed, especially since I paid for a Supreme.

This little tree is loaded full of blossoms this yearI’m sure we willHav
MICHAEL BOSS –
I have had several Reliance Peaches over the years and always have had a great crop. I tried another variety a few years ago but it didn’t make through our Massachusetts winter. Reliance is not bothered by our winters at all. Its a great tasting peach very prolific and hardy. I planted 4 more 2 and 3 years ago. They all are very hardy and growing well. I should have a nice crop from them soon. I would recommend Reliance peach to anyone that wants a hardy great tasting peach
