Where do you live Berdie? You can find out here:

Any reputable nursery will carry fruit trees that will live in your area.

I am in zone 9 and I have already started my seeds. This year where I live, we are having an actual winter, more rain than we have had in a decade or more. All the plants are so happy!

  That doesn't narrow it down enough. Place your zip code in the box to get what zone you are in.
