Hi Wendy,

I am surprised people are growing Bailey Peach trees for their fruit.
The Bailey Peach tree is generally used as a root stock because it
is cold hardy (good for zone 4). The peaches from a rootstock are
almost certainly bad tasting. You may want to put a cold hearty
varitety atop a Bailey Peach rootstock. The most cold hearty peach
I know of is Reliance, good from zone 4 through 8. There may be
others, but you will have to research that for one you like.

I am looking at trying to grow a peach tree in Minnesota where it can
get very cold in winter. We tried to grow one a few years ago with no
luck. We are looking at getting a Bailey Peach tree, they sell them
locally around here. I am unable to find a whole lot of good info
online. From what I know they grow in zones 5+, MN is zone 4. Can
anyone give me some info on Bailey's or suggest a good peach for MN we
have also considered reliance but they are hard to find. Thanks.
