| Grape, I found the infos on Starkbros: Hardired nectarine is productive, reliable and carefree. This variety is easy to grow. Originally developed in Canada, the tree is cold-tolerant, disease-resistant (especially to bacterial spot and brown rot), and very productive � you can thin fruit for bigger nectarines. Fruits feature firm, yellow, flavorful flesh. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating. Tony |

| Looks like the winter of 2013-14 will be a real test for cold tolerance of the many peach cultivars. Here in Colorado Springs, the temperatures have dropped to the -10 to -15 level which is in the range where flower bud mortality jumps dramatically. It will be interesting to see what peaches have live flower buds left. I grow many of the PF and Stellar series, along with contender. Contender, Risingstar, and Brightstar have done the best for me the past several years. |

| I grow a yum yum nectarine which so far has been hardy in zone 5. It has not produced yet. I am growing them to extend the season. The yum yum ripens fruit in June which is a month before my reliance peaches |
