Planting apples & nectarines

Question

I have a large sloped yard and would like to plant more fruit trees. I am fond of Fuji apples and nectarines. My yard is wet in winter and damp through early spring. Sunlight is plentiful in summer and fall. Any chance these fruits will grow here?

Answer

You will have more success with the Fuji apple. The nectarine requires more winter chilling than you may get in South San Francisco. Should you want to try, I recommend the Independence variety. The wet winter soil is not an issue as it dries out at the appropriate time.
