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:
Beth Caouette –
Thr tree came in great big box fast and in a great condition.
Patricia Tilbury –
The trees have wintered nicely in a hightunnel, the tips of top branches died, but would have been trimmed regardless, so no harm done.
Susan Boucher –
See review on the pear tree. Probably not hardy for northern vt.
Syd Rundback –
I purchased my Reliance peach one year ago. I bought the standard size, bare root tree. I was a bit skeptical of purchasing online and more so, a bare-root tree. It arrived with short roots and no sign of branches (or life). I planted it in our sandy soil and added Tre-Pep to my water. Leaf buds began to form within a week or two. This year the tree is full of beautiful branches and leaves and had a few buds. I will definitely buy from Stark Bros again!

These trees arrived sooner than I thought they would, after being planted they have begun growing like crazy and they look great. I can’t wait to eat my first peach.
Joseph Appolonia –
Overall the tree was 4”, however, the top 1’ did not leaf out coming out of bare root dormancy. In addition neither did one of the lower limbs; so I will have to prune and wait for new growth…seems disappointing comparably to other trees I have purchased
Rebecca Cribbins –
We’ve only our tree for a year, but it’s growing quite well. It weathered the harsh winter we had quite well. We can’t wait until it starts to produce fruit!
Mary Mitiguy –
I was a long time customer of Miller’s. Have not had good result from products from Starks. Disappointed in recent purchase of Barlett pear and Reliance peach trees.
Cameron Carter –
Great so far we have peaches on it already. Only the second year
BARTLEY PIPER –
I do not think I can give an accurate review for this plant due to the fact that it died soon after planting and I had ordered it to replace a failed Red Haven Peach in the same soil. It seems certain that there is vericillium or a similar disease organism in the soil in this area infecting the vascular system of the plant.
