Re: [nafex] "Indian peach" seeds

I'm sure they cannot handle zone 4 cold. Should do very well in Zone 5, though. At least one of our members has redleaf-peaches. another seed-propagated landrace that is also very tough and prolific. When I was a kid growing up in Kansas, I had two trees that were watered with runoff from a chicken house. Very small, flavorful, white-fleshed peaches. Mom used to make jam from them. She also pickled them to serve with holiday meals, particularly ham and muscovy duck. Delicious! -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, MN (USDA Hardiness Zone 4b)

Yea, these were also known as the Mission peach. I'm doubting they
could handle zone 4.
