Can peach trees grow in Indiana?

I have always wanted one but don't know if they can grow here

Can peach trees grow in Indiana?
I think anything can grow anywhere, if you can duplicate their environment. That is, if they need lots of water, but you are planting them in the desert - if you provide it with water, it will grow.





I live in Arizona, and of course, we are a desert. You'd be surprised as to the things we grow here. Maybe with a little shade and irrigation, you can grow anything.
Reply:Yes Peach trees can grow that far North, but only certain varieties will survive the occasional real bad winter,. Here is a site with some examples. http://gurneys.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_33
Reply:According to this website you can. Just make sure you have a sunny south facing place sheltered from the wind and you should do well.
Reply:We have peach trees in our backyard....(I'm in NW Indiana, so we get the harshest of winters...), and they have grown just fine (aside from one getting hit by lightning). They do attract a LOT of bees, though.
