| I ordered a large number of nemagauard pits, successfully gemantated and planted them in a bed only to find that they are only hardy to zero F. Now I am finding other sources (Including National Arbor Day) saying Nemagaurd to hardy to Zone 5. |

| I've always heard nema is very winter tender. I would tend to believe those sources, as none of the nurseries which ship to colder peach zones use nema. It's strictly used in warmer peach growing areas, especially CA. |

| Arbor day uses Nemagaurd and ships to zone 5 http://www.arborday.org/trees/treeguide/TreeDetail.cfm?id=70 :Attributes While peach trees are self-fertile and don't require another tree to produce fruit, planting two trees is recommended for a better crop (it will still require insects to pollinate its own flowers). Fruit trees need a minimum of 6-8 hours of sunlight daily and regular water. They are not drought-tolerant. Our standard Belle of Georgia seedlings are budded to Nemaguard rootstock, and our dwarf seedlings are grafted to Prunus besseyi (Sand Cherry) |

| I wouldn't consider Arbor Day an authority on peach rootstocks, but of course it's your call. |
