I mean, peaches do grow pretty far up north, my grandpa had a peach tree in northern Germany and it often had enough peaches to almost kill itself due to their weight.
But those peaches were pretty small, not very sweet and had pretty thick skin. Not ideal, but serviceable.
It’s a quirk of our climate here that it’ll start getting comfortably warm even in late February into March, and then around late March or early April there will be 36 hours of frost, enough to kill all the blossoms that opened during that false spring. So you get pretty leafy trees that bear no fruit.
