I have a Reliance peach tree next to a Elberta peach tree, and both have lots of peaches on them, the Reliance peach tree has smaller fruit and the Elberta peach tree has large fruit, I planted these small in March of 2004 and they do very well next to each other and the wild life love them as do I.

Perdue mountain fruit farm near Traverlers Rest has them around the end of July. Saunders peach farm in Filbert has them as well.

This depends on a number of factors: * how old the can is * how long the can has been opened * whether or not there is anything else in the fridge that could contaminate the peaches It is always best to transfer the peaches into another sealed container, rather than leave them in the tin.
