Reliable Harvests, Even in the Coldest Regions

Why Reliance Peach Trees?

You’ll get healthy harvests of peaches, even in the coldest parts of the country. Because the Reliance Peach Tree is the cold hardiest variety on the market, you can feel confident knowing that an early or particularly cold winter for your region won't harm your sturdy cultivar.

After all, it's called Reliance Peach for a reason. The tolerance, durability and reliability of this tree is second to none, especially since you get a harvest of 15 to 30 lbs. each year in almost any weather. Plus, the fruit you’ll get is absolutely delicious.

Some peaches are overly tart, but Reliance Peaches are sweet and mild without being overpowering. And they boast the firm texture expected of a perfect peach. They’re freestone too, which means you can easily remove the stone inside without effort.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Since our Reliance is a dwarf variety, it fits perfectly in your landscape. And a late harvest means you can welcome in autumn with sweet, summery peaches that you picked in August. But the best part is that the extra work we do at our nursery makes it an ideal starter tree, easy to maintain as it grows. We closely monitor and care for our Reliance Peach Trees so that they’re ready to acclimate to your garden right away and produce fruit several years sooner than other varieties.

Feel the pride and joy of growing your very own peaches. It doesn't matter if you're in the East or West, or somewhere in between – you can grow a Reliance Peach Tree and enjoy your own harvest of sweet, juicy peaches within as little as two years. Order yours today!

Looking good!

Our peach trees arrived in great shape! Lively and had mini peaches and flowers! They look very healthy with lots of leaves. Can’t wait to plant them!

Pleasantly surprised

Planted in May of 2025 in MN zone 5. We had one of coldest -40F at times winters. It's April 2026 and it has grown beautifully. Leafed out. Very healthy. Can't wait to see if it produces blossoms. Only 4 star because I reserve final judgements until next year when I will allow it to fruit.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Meredith, it's wonderful to hear your tree handled such a cold winter and is now thriving. Seeing it leaf out in spring is always a great sign. Your Reliance Peach Tree sounds like it is right on track. We understand holding off final judgment until fruiting, and we’re excited for you to see how it performs in the next season.

My tree arrived very healthy,

My tree arrived very healthy, but way too early (April 2) for Zone 5 since it was completely leafed out. If you live in Zone 5 definitely order for fall planting rather than spring. The only other issue is that I shouldn’t have ordered a 6’-7’ tree. At this size it hasn’t yet been pruned to form an open vase shape, so you basically have to cut the tree in half if you want that shape. Probably better to get a less mature tree so you can start shaping it earlier in its life.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Erik, we’re glad to hear your tree arrived very healthy. We’re sorry for the inconvenience of it arriving leafed out earlier than expected for your zone, as timing and seasonal shipping can vary depending on conditions. We also appreciate your insight on sizing and pruning, and you’re absolutely right that starting with a younger tree can make shaping easier early on. We’re here if you need any guidance.
