Siberian C peach

Hey guys,

I just saw a post on facebook from edible acre talking about this cold hardy peach. So i did some research, and realised that I would be able to make it grow on my location.

So, my question is, does anyone knows of a place to order seeds in canada? Because if I am not mistaken, it is impossible to import this species from other countries.

green barns nursery says there peaches are cold hardy to zone 4-5 there expensive though

mabey just buy one for a source of scion and then graft on to a native cold hardy plum species

silver creek nursery also has some

Alright I will check these out, thanks

https://beyondvineyard.com/ has siberian c peach seeds as well as perfectcirclefarm ;)

 Will peaches and plums graft onto cherry root stalk?  I have wild cherries on my property.

I think all members of the prunus genus graft on to eachother

That includes nectarines plums peaches cherrys and apricots

think all members of the prunus genus graft on to each other

That's what I seem to recall as well.  Can these nurseries send scion wood into Canada?  Or are they Canadian?  I can't seem to find the location on the Beyond Vinyard website.

Oh shoot ok these places are for us only umm id try this url for plum scion http://maplevalleyorchards.com/Pages/ScionWood.aspx

try this url for plum scion

But I want peaches!  (throws tantrum on the floor) PEACHES!!!  :)

Sorry man there might be some way to source peach scoin in niagra ..u might have to do some calling to the orchards to see if they have any sources...canada doesnt seem to have a huge amount of well known places to get scion wood let alone strange or unique seeds .

had to revive a dead thread to give a shoutout here to fellow canadians who want to grow peaches. Check out Bernie Nickolai's posts about growing them 'siberian' style.
Tree Eater Farm and nursery will sell you Bailey Peach seedlings (some of the hardiest out there) and/or Seeds (if you ask nicely enough, and wait til they are in season).

I was able to overwinter a harrow diamond peach (bought from whiffletree) on bailey rootstock last year using this method.
Hopefully in a few years my peaches will be large enough to share some of my scions (ive got saturn doughnut, harrow diamond, and I think Contender growing now).

So yeah, I've got a few bushes growing under the snow! Im in Z3 and if my -38C last night (test winter!) didnt kill them under the snow i mounded entirely over them, and a late frost doesnt damage the buds like last year, I will hopefully have some peaches this summer to show you all!

Bernie is a total sweetheart who has been sharing tips on the NAFEX facebook group and elsewhere too.

I've seen this done with figs, never thought about peaches.

Does anyone know how large a Siberian C peach tree gets?  I've heard them referred to as peach bushes before, so wondering if they stay somewhat small.  I have some first year seedlings that are looking bushy so far and so I'm wondering where I will site them based on their final size.

Greg Martin just from what I've read, about 15' tall and 6' wide but I have no proof of that.

This year bought 10 siberian c seedlngs from treetime.ca  Going to plant 5 in the orchard, the other 5 will put in pots and come winter keep them in a grow tent in the basement with lot's of water, humidity and miracle grow, hoping to get at least 3' whips to plant the following spring.

We have 2 baily peaches grown from rootstock of failed attempts at grafted peach trees.  Largest is about a 10' tall peach, "bush".  No idea if we'll ever see fruit from any of them, but hey, gotta try, right?
