This blog post will provide an overview of the best fruit trees to plant in each hardiness zone. Read on for more information and some gardening tips.
Hardiness Zone 1-3
If you live in a cold climate, then consider planting apples or pears. Apples are one of the most popular fruits and can survive temperatures as low as -50F. Pears are also cold-hardy, growing well in zones 1-3. Both apple and pear trees require full sun and regular pruning to keep them healthy and productive.
Hardiness Zone 4-7
For moderate climates, cherry and peach trees are ideal choices. Cherries grow well in zones 4-7, while peaches can tolerate temperatures as low as -20F. Both cherry and peach trees need regular watering and pruning to maintain their health, but they’ll reward you with delicious fruit if cared for properly.
Hardiness Zone 8-10
Avocado trees are perfect for warm climates such as zones 8-10. They require full sun and plenty of water, but they’ll reward you with delicious avocados year after year! Other fruit trees that thrive in warmer climates include mangoes, oranges, lemons, limes, papayas, guavas, figs, kiwis, persimmons, dates, olives, pomegranates and loquats.
