We had two Reliance trees that had heavy yields until the borers got them.I'm hoping to plant more next year since we've waited for several years to break the cycle. We also have late frosts here in Zone 5, but that variety is supposed to be the most cold resistant Ours even survived a -25 degree weekend in 1994.

When it comes to cobbler, I just use my usual pie crust and season with a touch of nutmeg. Yummy with vanilla ice cream. - Roberta
