Question

I would like to plant fruit trees but I live very close to the ocean, with lots of summer fog. Which fruit trees would you recommend for my microclimate?

Answer

For your foggy, coastal conditions consider Santa Rosa plum, Meyer Lemon, Persimmon, Asian Pear 21st Century, and Apricot. For something more exotic, the Pineapple guava, Feijoa sellowiana, will work. You could also consider Blueberries! Call our stores with any stock questions.
