Of the ones you mention only strawberry with a plum tree makes any sense to me. The others are too big or require a different soil pH. I've had up to 5 fruit trees in one 15 gallon pot and gotten fruit off all. So you can try anything. But why not get another pot for each one? 10-15 gallons isn't much to grow any of these and expect much fruit. Pots aren't cheap. But having $130 of fruit trees in one pot isn't cheap either. On most of my 5 in one pot, I later moved them to an in-ground spot for more production. This also allows fruit the year of planting in-ground.

Those are different and I agree it is very confusing. The Dave Wilson cherry-plums (Sprite/Delight) are a cross of plum and sand cherry. Sprite is supposed to grow well in hotter climates but I don't know about the chill hours; Dave Wilson lists chill on their site. Sprite has been an easy grower for me but has been splitting badly. I don't know about chill on the cerasifera plums. Bay Laurel is a standard source for Dave Wilson varieties. I would look at a southern nursery such as Just Fruits and Exotics to see what low-chill plums they have. Scott

I did a quick Google search and got this, from the link below - "Bruce" Plums - The plum variety "Bruce" is a hybrid plum produced by crossing a Japanese plum with a member of another plum group, called European plums. A tree that can be 10 to 15 feet tall at maturity, it blooms in early spring, producing masses of small, bright white flowers. Somewhat earlier to ripen than "Methley," "Bruce" plums are usually ready for picking by the start of June. The fruit is especially large and has distinctly red skin and yellow or orange flesh. The variety is generally not self-fruitful and requires a nearby pollinator such as "Methley" or another Japanese-type cultivar for cross-pollination." Here is a link that might be useful: Bruce & Methley Plum trees

@ Davissue: That's exactly what my DH is worried about. :) The mess. And I say, like GardenGuru asked... I'm gonna eat it first!!!! Or turn it into preserves of some sort. Or juice. Or pick it and give it away. @ GardenGuru: Yes!!! I'm going to pick it and eat it :) I love fruit, and I love picking fruit, and I love making things out of fruit, and I love giving it away too :) Thank you for the suggestions. I was raised in the tropics so much of the fruits people would consider "exotic" are pretty common for me. The Cauplin cherry looks interesting but 30' tall is really much too large for that area I think. I love Lychee but they can't tolerate frost and they get too big. We already have a mulberry. @ Hoovb: Good suggestion. I know it sounds unimaginative to want to plant such "common" fruits as plums, etc. but to me they were always picked early and shipped long distances so to eat a fresh stone fruit is my idea of heaven! I buy a lot of bananas but they die back with frost here and I could never grow enough to feed my habit. Plus they're cheap :) I love cherries and blueberries and all berries. I need to have a berry section but don't know where to do it. Our Asian pear has put little fruits the past two years but I've taken them off in order to encourage the tree to put its energy into growth. @ Socalgal: Thank you. I guess talking to the nursery is a good plan for the espalier. What kind of trellis do you have? I am considering running a trellis/fence on the inside of our white fence and training them on that. Or, just getting dwarfs and letting them bush out. Here's a picture of the driveway. The house in the picture is my neighbors. My driveway is the long one on the left and my house is in the back. The fruit trees will go along the white fence. On the street side where there is no fence we are planning to put some clumping bamboo (for privacy) for the first 10' or so, then something small and hedge-ish for the last 10' for visibility issues. The length in front of the fence is approx. 40' long x 4' wide. And there is another 30+' past where the fence ends.
