has anyone ever heard of a peach called the Iowa peach? It's supposed to be hardy in Iowa....and it's not the reliance. Any thoughts?

i have a strain of white peach that is very hardy,productive, and easy to maintain and very tasty that I have raised 100 miles south of you , Sharpsburg, Iowa. Have had for close to 20 years, native to this area for 50 plus years

mainhaus, do you have your peach tree in a protected area? Have you harvested them yet this season? When do they ripen? Sooooo many questions! .....Would you be willing to send me some of the pits if I pay the postage? I'm interested in getting some peach trees started from seed.

mainhaus, I found nothing on your web site regarding Peach trees. Do you only sell the saplings locally or do you ship them? How long does it take from "sapling" to "bearing"? Are they self-fertile? Are they standard size? I have two dwarf Reliance trees and got my first harvest of five peaches (total) this year. Would love to add variety to the orchard. Thanks.
