I have not grown it but the local orchards do. It is a great peach. You will like it much better than your Relaince. As far as reliability, the commercial orchards would not have it if it weren't/

Todd,

I can't say from personal experience but there is a Nafexer who has a commercial orchard up near Chicago. He says 24c has been the only reliable cultivar that has cropped for him the last few years. It has had crops when all other "cold hardy" peaches have frozen out.

In terms of quality, I doubt Paul Friday would release a peach that wasn't better quality than Reliance.

Thanks for the input. I am getting convinced that this is a peach tree I need to add to my yard. Does anyone know who might be able to ship it this year? I will order it immediately, and maybe one for my parents as well if I can. If not, maybe I will have to wait until next spring.

I too am very interested in the Flamin Fury cold hardy peach, I have found it available on Grandpa's Orchard web page. Wondering if they are a good source. I've had really good luck with my Contender peach producing here in Wisconsin, even after several frosts on the bloom. Now looking to get another variety.
