| Say in addition to the apples common in the mountains and inner piedmont, figs elsewhere, and pecans.
Coastal plain apples?
Pears? European? Asian?
Mayhaws?
Plums?
Peaches?
Persimmons? Native? Japanese?
Pomagrenate?
Citrus outside?
Others less common?
Chestnuts?
Other nuts less common?
I'll know additionally there are a lot of muscadine grapes among the vining fruits, and I'll bet some bunch grapes and kiwis here and there. And of course blackberries and some raspberries among cane fruit. And a lot of strawberries.
But what of the bush and tree fruits? Having any good luck with them?

| Hey G.B. Welcome to G.A., We actually had a 1st Atlanta Fruits group scion exchange today. It's a Yahoo group just search there for it as they block the link here. There is not a lot of activity on the group, but I could see it growing. I think you know pretty much know already what I grow, my member page needs updating but I think I emailed you my listings prior, as most of my planting are juvenile the jury is still out, but with the exception of outside citrus ( not counting Trifolate) I am giving that all a go. |

| That's a very impressive list! What is your approximate elevation? I wonder how well your experience transfers to the fall line or middle coastal plain? |

| I am at about 1500 ft I think at my Ellijay plantings, in a low creek valley which is not ideal on cold still nights. I am not sure if some of things I am trying will survive a late spring cold snap, but we are giving it a go. Not sure about others areas, no personal experience in those areas. |

| I grow a couple of varieties of figs, I grow bananas (and get fruit) I have a couple of types of satsumas, I have meyer lemons, I have moro blood oranges, sweet kumquats, I grow pomegranets, I grow tunas from various types of opuntias, I grow papayas as annuals (get fruit) and last year I grew a few pineapples in containers. I also have a brogdon avocado tree and I am presently looking for both a mexicola and a gainsville avocado (I will produce many more fruit with cross pollination) I also grow maypops, blackberries, blue berries and have grown kiwis. Oh yeah loquats too. |
