Peach tree 'Reliance'
FamilyRosaceae
Prunus persica 'Reliance' is a peach tree known for its hardiness and ability to produce fruit even in colder climates. It produces peaches with orange-yellow skin and a red blush, and tender, juicy, and sweet yellow flesh, ideal for fresh eating, jams, and desserts. Self-fertile, it produces consistently without the need for another variety nearby, and its spring blooms attract numerous pollinators. This cultivar is also valued for its disease tolerance and ease of cultivation, making it a prime choice for home orchards looking for a reliable, generous, and flavorful fruit tree.
