Hi gswilkent,Dominion Seed House has "peach stella", they are in Ontario. M

Right colour wrong plant,peach stella at dominion is a daylilly. I want the ones you eat and grow on a tree. Thanks for trying to help though.

Why not try some Cucumis Melo "Vine Peach"? I got seeds from Underwood Gardens-- no problems shipping to Canada.

LOL ,sorry 'bout that, not hard to tell what's on my wish list! M

Do you want to grow just the tree, or do you want peaches off of it? Dwarf Peach trees are hard to find in Canada - there are a few Anerican places, but then you'll have to pay $25US or more, plus the cost of a phytosanitary certificate. You'd be lucky to get one for under $75CDN.

If you have an elaborate setup, your tree might live through the winter, but when mature it'll still be 8-12 feet tall - can you protect that?

How late do you get frost? A late frost could kill off vital flower parts, meaning you won't get any fruit forming.

Also - a more important consideration is that you're unlikely to ever get any edible peaches off of it. You probably don't have enough heat over the summer to grow and ripen any peaches properly. Peaches like heat, even the hardy varities are rated for two to three zones above yours.

I know what it is to want to try something really badly, but you have to decide if it would be worth the cost to try this experiment. I would recommend you research another fruit to try.

I have come across a couple of places in the US that offer them, and if you want I can go hunting for them and see if they ship to Canada.

Dear brother, please try Humber Nurseries, Ontario, Canada. They are the biggest and the best and the most expensive nursery in Ontario.

look at here

Here is a link that might be useful: Dwarf Pears

Thanks for the help everyone, but still looking.Humber Nurseries dosen't do mail order but wow they have lots of types, annik's site does mail order but not to Canada. Wish they did, great selection. The vine peach from Underwood Gardens looks like something I will be trying though, never even heard of it. As far as summer heat goes we average above 30 c and have more hours of sunshine than anywhere in Canada. The hottest temperature ever reached in Canada (46 c) was recorded about 30 minutes from my house. Winter on the other hand... down to -40 c. Your right about the spring frost thing though. I have apricots outside with no additional protection that I have only gotten fruit on once in 6 years.
One thing I noticed you (Bonniepunch) mention a height of 8-12 feet, most of the sites I saw with dwarf peaches listed a height/width of about 5'x5'. I have never grown dwarf peaches so I'm wondering if you are talking height of a regular peach or are they being overly optomistic on the dwarf aspect? If they do get that much bigger do you have any idea how they would respond to root pruning like I do on my figs? Thanks for the input

gswilkent,
Just wondering, what part of Sk are you in?

I'm in Estevan
