Certified ExpertA.My research shows that most fruit trees will survive and produce in your area. It doesn't seem to be limited. I do not know very much about your area, but you can ask your local extension service, or fruit production facility for more information.

Do self seeded fruit trees bear fruit

December 24, 2017A.Certainly, Apple Trees are just one example of a self seeded tree.
Today with so many of our fruit trees being hybrids, a tree grown from seeds will differ from the parent tree.

February 19, 2018Q.spraying fruit trees
We have had such abundance of rain in the foothills of California (zone 7) for months, when should I spray my stone fruit trees? We have only a few hours of no rain, during the week. The trees are showing signs of budding. Can you advise? I also have an apple tree. Thank you!

February 19, 2018A.Maintain the same schedule of spraying your trees, but try to do during dry days.
A fungicide treatment is quite important with the heavy rains you are experiencing.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/fegen/fruit-tree-spraying.htm
I would also advise to call your County Extension Office for specific advise to your region.

March 7, 2018Q.plants for wet conditions
My new allotment has had an area of standing water after recent very heavy rain. I know there are things which I can do to improve the drainage, but are there any plants particularly fruit trees etc. which actually like wet conditions or would soak up the water leaving the rest of the plot less soggy?

March 9, 2018Q.Orchard tree looks dead
I have an orchid tree about 7 years old and25 feet.. It lost its leaves in January and looks dead the thin branches are brittle and dead. Someone told me to scrape a small piece of the bark to see if it's green under it. I did this in about4 places and it's pink is5his tree dead if so why would such a mature tree just dye. Thanks

March 9, 2018A.Yes, you can scratch the bark of the tree and it should be green under the bark.
If the branches snap and break off, they have died.There can be many reasons for the loss of an established tree. Environmental stresses, pests and diseases are often the case.
Have you had drought, excess rainfall, extreme highs and lows in temperatures? Did the trees leaves or bark show signs of disease or pests?
Was there changes in the fruit or the amount of fruit on the tree?
Sudden die off can often times be unexplained.
You could contact your County Extension Office and check if others have reported tree loss in your area.Here are some links with more information and a link to help you locate your nearest extension office.
