[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3996056, member: 27284"] Peaches, plums, apples, pears do very well. A Fig Tree will do well, you may need to get one in a tub you can put inside for winter. Apricots Don’t over look things such as Strawberry plants, blueberry blackberry, Sand Plums (Sand Plum Jelly!!) and a lot more , easy to little care needed and will provide the sustenance you mentioned. Everybody likes the Commercial apples in the Grocery Store, fine & dandy, but what I call the native apples put out fruit like crazy. They’re usually smaller and less attractive to look at but they do really well, lots of benefits to grow. Hardy tough problem resistant etc. these usually taste really good! Try to get a lot of Dwarf to Semi-Dwarf, easier to pick, but still get normal height trees too. Always get at least 2 or 3 or 4 of each whatever because of pollination needs. You should talk to your local County Extension Office and Agent. I’d insist on speaking to that particular person instead of staff people for what fruit trees wil grow well there near you.
