Fruit and Nut Trees
I've added a link to fruit and nut tree information. So if you are thinking of an apple, peach, pear, apricot, or similar tree there is information readily available. Bear in mind that Maricopa County typically gets 450 chill hours in winter, so fruit tree varieties requiring over 500 chill hours are likely to only bear fruit in colder years. This was discouraging at first, as we wanted to grow Golden Delicious apples and that simply can't be done in our warm climate. There are other apple varieties that can be grown here though, and we have really enjoyed the apricots and almonds.
