As with most fruit trees, the trick is to start out with the peach variety that suits your climate. Peaches will grow in USDA zones 4 to 8; they do especially well in zones 6 and 7. Since most peach varieties are self-fertile, you can plant just one tree at a time ('J. H. Hale' and 'Elberta' are among the exceptions).
Also question is, what zone does peaches grow in?

Herein, what fruit trees will grow in my area?
Granny Smith (Zones 5-8) is an excellent pollinator for this apple. Other types of fruit trees that tolerate colder climates are persimmons, apricots, plums, and cherries as well as peaches and pears.
While some peach varieties may be hardy to zone 4, there's a big difference between survival hardy and fruiting hardy. While the peach trees are hardy to zone 4, the flower buds aren't quite so resilient. To harvest peaches in zone 4, the trees must be planted where they'll be kept cold in the early spring.
