Comments (5)You'll probably get many and varied opinions, but . . . here's mine. I live in Canada and can't/won't suggest any sources of plants for you. There are many apple cultivars that will grow in zone 5, but some will be better in your location than others. I'd ask for advice at a local nursery. Be prepared to spray for disease and pests or be very selective about choosing disease-resistant strains. One of my apricots in zone 5 -- called a "Manchurian apricot" by the seller -- has survived many years but has never born fruit, even when the other apricot plants were still alive. My aronia has survived and born fruit in zone 5. Based upon a single experience with them in zone 5, I'd say "unlikely" to nectarine, peach, and Asian pear, and based upon many experiences I doubt that figs would survive without a lot of effort (like burying them before winter -- and even then it might be "iffy"). I don't have much experience with cherries except for native black cherry and Manchu/Nanking bush cherries. Both do acceptably for me. I'd try the fairly-recently developed dwarf cherries from Saskatchewan. My pears, even the Early Gold, Ure, and Ussurian pears, are surviving but not thriving. That could be my fault because ALMOST ALL OF MY PLANTS MAINLY "FEND FOR THEMSELVES" amongst the tall grass and weeds. They get little care except for fencing from wildlife and, some years, a mulch of leaves around them before the snow flies. Hopefully, someone who gives his/her plants more attention will add comments to what I'm saying. And hopefully they haven't been muttering too much to themselves as they've been reading my thoughts and so-called advice. My two pecan "trees" -- five or six feet tall -- are about 15 years old and die back (tip kill) most winters. They were grafted and the grafts died the first winter but the rootstock survived. I do give them special care, both summer and winter, but still . . . No nuts on my hazels, also about 15 years old -- but at least they haven't died (yet) from blight. The plums are doing okay and produce fruit. The persimmons and paw paws are struggling still, ten years after they were planted. No fruit and limited growth each year. Having said all that, it has been fun experimenting. Best wishes....See MoreI know it's some kind of fruit or nut tree but not sure what exactly..
