Significance

• Minnesota is located far to the north and often experiences frost during spring. Since stone fruit trees blossom early in the spring, this common spring frost kills the blossoms and effectively kills the fruit.
  
  

Considerations

• According to the University of Minnesota, you could potentially grow a peach tree if you plant it in a container. While you can leave the tree outdoors during the summer, you will need to move it to a temperature controlled space, like a garage, during the winter.
  
  

Types

• If you decide to grow a peach tree in Minnesota, the University of Minnesota recommends you use a hardier cultivar. These include Madison, Harrow Beauty and smaller varieties like Honeybabe.
