The apple, pear, plum, and cherry will most likely need pollinators (don't know about the others). I suggest you add peach to your list. Most peaches are self-fertile.

Thanks. I already have an white peach planted by the previous owners. Any additional advice? I have been watching the Dave Wilson vids and am intrigued by their 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 planting where multiples of similar planted quite close together.

Make sure you check the chill requirements for the berries, apples and pears.

You can try a few species banana. Some are edible, although they have seeds. Musa balbisiana, Musa "helens hybrid" and any Musa Acuminata species. Im not sure how well the commercial banana will do in 9B, and they are having virus problems with them anyways. If youre just going for looks, there are many many good species for 9b, including the giant ensetes.

Also, even if the plants are "Self fertile", additional pollenators will help increase production (although I think most peaches do ok by theselves). Even a branch grafted, like the multi grafted trees on the vids will help.

No mention of lemon, I see. A improved meyer would be nice, and not overly large either.

You have raised a lot of good questions. To get good information to get started with few false starts, I would strongly recommend 'The Home Orchard' published by University of California in 2007, and written by the UC Davis staff. If you are in the north bay any library contains the California Master Gardener Handbook. The fruit section is written by Paul Vossen the Sonoma County farm adviser. He gives lots of local information on what fruit will do best with less problems. Al

The multigraft trees can solve pollination problems. Plan ahead to place trees intended to cross-pollinate next to each other.

Methley is a juicy red-fleshed plum. You might also consider pluots.

I'm also in the Bay Area, a bit farther north I think because our summer highs are similar but our winter lows are a bit lower. My favorite plum is the Elephant Heart, bred by Luther Burbank in this area so it does well here. I just had my first off of my new tree and it was delicious and definitely an eating over the sink variety. I also have a Santa Rosa plum, which is smaller and not quite as juicy but very flavorful and reliably productive. If you want to try multiple trees in one hole I suggest doing it with plums and pluots, because there are so many good varieties and a lot of them yield better with cross pollination.

I love my Pink Pearl apple tree, I just harvested the first batch to make into pies and my friends and family are eagerly anticipating them. They are a bit too tart for my taste for fresh eating, but the best pie apples I've ever used.

I second the recommendation for a Meyer Lemon, I wouldn't be without one. Very useful fruit, fragrant flowers, and they're evergreen.

Beware bramble fruits! Contain the roots or they will take over your yard. I'm not certain how to ensure the longest harvest, the easiest way would probably be to get a variety of summer bearing and fall bearing cultivars. Also, you should have some strawberries because they are relatively easy to grow and they start bearing sooner than most fruiting plants.

Depending on how cold your area gets you will probably have to protect the avocados and tropicals, and there might be issues with lack of summer heat for ripening. You might want to contact the California Rare Fruit Growers for advice, or just look around to see if others have had success with those plants in your area. I know it can be done, there's a guy locally who grows pineapples, but it's a lot of work for a small harvest.

Good luck on your project, I hope you have bounteous harvests in the years to come!
