Great fruit trees for this area

Three from our wholesale program that are a reliable crop in the mid elevation. Every variety is on the tree program.

A big, red-blushed yellow freestone with mild, low-acid flesh that ripens just after Elberta. It needs about 800 chill hours, so it suits mid elevation yards and is far too high-chill for the Phoenix area. Plant it where cold air drains away, because a hard spring freeze is what usually costs a crop at these elevations.

The cold-tough fig. Its mahogany-purple fruit sets on new growth, so if a freeze kills the top it regrows from the base and still crops, which makes it the fig to try in Prescott, Payson and the Verde Valley as well as the low desert. Fruit comes late with little or no early crop, so a cool year can beat it to the first frost.

Bred in Beaver Dam, Arizona, with red to pink skin, pink-to-light red arils, soft edible seeds and a sweet, refreshing flavor. The fruit can hang for weeks without splitting, and the plant takes temperatures below zero, which makes it the pomegranate for mid elevation as well as the low desert. Ripening still needs a warm fall.
