My daughter's peach tree in south-central MN isn't doing much yet, certainly no blossoms. She had a great crop from it two years ago but nothing last summer. As for me, I've decided that "you can raise peaches in Minnesota" is all part of that great hoax family that includes "sure you can get a good cell signal here" and "if you like your doctor you can keep him." I've tried Reliance and Contender varieties (both supposedly Minnesota-bred and cold-hardy) in east-central Iowa and south-central Minnesota going back many years. I've tried heavy soil, sandy soil, sheltered locations, north slopes, south slopes, heavy mulch, no mulch, etc. Either they never even leafed out the first year or they struggled along for maybe three or four feeble years before conking out. I think maybe one year I got a few blossoms on one tree, but they never developed. If these varieties were developed by the University of Minnesota as claimed, it comes as a surprise that the U of M has a research facility in central Georgia. :0
