'flamin'fury(r) pf- 24c- 'cold hardy'' most cold hardy peach
Comments (6)I will put my 2 cents in now that I have had my peaches in for a few years. I have not found PF24-C to be any more cold hardy or bud hardy than any of my other trees. My O'Henry made it through a real tough winter last year just as well as the PF24-C, and there is no comparison in taste. (The trees both made it but there was no fruit due to a horrible spring) Apparently McKay is not Wisconsin Balmer, as the thread linked above was mentioned to be. The link below also mentions it. I decided to get Contender, Polly, Ranger, and Indian Free Peach for my aunt in Iowa. This link might help too: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/fruit/msg081648531967.html Here is another link regarding Earlitreat that is also hardy enough in Iowa. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/fruit/msg072247337437.html All of the above mentioned peaches can be found at Bay Laurel, I believe, but they have a deadline to special order that was last Friday. Maybe you can beg them to add yours if you decide. If you really want a PF24-C you can have mine:) Here is a link that might be useful: Wisconsin Balmer peach source...See Moremost cold hardy ramblers?
Comments (77)I was looking on this thread to get info on hardiness of Albertine. Sounds like it might be cane hardy for me in z 5b if sited carefully. By the way, I saw a few comments above on Viking Queen. In my old z5b garden (Ann Arbor, MI), it was reliably cane hardy in most years, and only showed mild dieback in others (and not necessarily the coldest either). Its disadvantage for me was that in our sometimes hot humid June weather its flowers balled badly. However, in the cooler weather of fall, it absolutely excelled in bloom. While the number of flowers at any time was smaller than in June, it commonly produced a decent display all the way from late August into late December. I personally think it is a great hardy climber for places with cool summers. In cooloer summers we had, it was an outstanding performer and one of my best climbers....See MoreThe most cold hardy Southern Hemisphere conifer
Comments (16)That's for the most part true, but some of the higher mountains of South Africa see temperatures as cold as -4°F(-20°C) and lowland areas of Southern Chile and Argentina get as cold as -20°F(-28.9°C).(the record low for Argentina is -27°F(-32.8°C) at an altitude of about 900'(274m) and only about 75 miles(121km) from the ocean). Also, there are large areas of the Andes which get as cold as many parts of North America, but they don't get as hot in the summer, like resin said, and they don't have virtually any native woody plants growing. These areas are dominated by grasses and other herbaceous stuff. I also know that some of the mountains of Australia have seen temps as low as about 0°F to +5°F(-17.8°C to -15°C)(the record low being -8°F(22.2°C) in Charlotte Pass at an altitude of about 6,000'(1829m)), but I'm not sure about New Zealand. I'd think that some Australian, South African, or perhaps some South American(less likely) conifer might be both heat and somewhat cold hardy. Several herbaceous species from these areas are both(mostly from South Africa, rather than Australia though)....See MoreWhat's the most cold hardy Mandarin cultivar known?
Comments (19)List of most cold hardy mandarins: US 852 (Changsha x trifoliate) very well hardy down to zone 7, maybe even 6b Citrandarin - Satsuma x trifoliate 0-5 degrees (Fahrenheit) Changsha mandarin 10-11 degrees Arctic Frost (Changsha x Satsuma) 10.5-11.5 degrees "Ten Degree Tangerine" (Clementine x Yuzu) 11.5 degrees (some claim has slightly kerosene-like off flavor) Keraji mandarin 12-14 degrees Nippon mandarinquat (also called Orangequat, kumquat x Satsuma cross) 14-18 degrees Natsumikan (more like an Orange of Grapefruit, a bit bitter and can be sour) 15-18 degrees (not sure exactly) Satsuma is pretty hardy, can usually survive zone 8b, often 8a if the climate isn't too far north (This list doesn't include other really sour mandarin-like varieties)...See Moreturquoise
