[QUOTE="KDM, post: 23530, member: 314"] To me, fruit trees are like doritos. I can't just have one. With that in mind, most fruit trees for zone 3 or below do very well here. It's pretty hard to beat a good apple tree when considering our "normal" winter conditions. Plums do just fine as well, but they are a bit more prickly and less yard friendly I would say. Especially when you have little ones running around. Hunting through a plum patch is guaranteed to relieve you of some of your hide before you're done. Our pear trees manage to stay alive, but the jury is still out on the fruit producing end of that deal. Cherries are fast growing, but take a bit of pruning as they grow. Deer, Rabbits, and other critters must take a special pride in destroying cherry trees though, as just about everything out at my place wants to eat'em, strip'em, rub'em, or otherwise remove them from the landscape. Hope this helps................ [/QUOTE]
