Fruit trees that grow well in small back yards: zone 7a- Northern Virginia 

What type of trees do you have in your yard?

howdy neighbor. You look so happy in your garden.

With that many pawpaws, surely you will get quite a harvest!

Love the yard bro so nice I cant wait for my stuff to produce. Im on year 3 in my yard. Ive got 6 paw paw going some from seed and some cultivars can not wait.

Central va here. Have figs already Planting a few different apple trees Pears Peaches Blue berries Raspberries Strawberries Persimmons

Amazing!

jujube is pretty hardy and easy to grow

7a here but in middle Tennessee. We lost all of our figs - even Chicago Hardy - during the flash freeze of December '22. What we have left are our lemons and limes that require us to haul it in during the winter.

I have been researching pears and apparently (Orient) Is THE! pear to have from multiple sources. Need a cross pollinator cultivar. Im going to try (Warren) for disease resistance. We will see. North Carolina zone 7b here.

That is so cool you're getting flowers on your trees! Thanks for sharing, it gives me hope to see them flowering in zone 7a. I've been wanting to get the Celeste fig and a couple PawPaws. How demanding have the Kiwis been? I'm tempted to order a few. Is your soil acidic or basic, I heard they want low pH like blueberries and my pH is too high for those. I just have a plum for now, not sure what variety and it's lost most of its flowers due to a late freeze this year but I should get a couple. I'm hoping for more and planted a bunch of bare root plants last month. I put in: Bing and Ranier cherries, a Montmorency cherry, a 20th century Asian Pear, a Warren Pear, a maypop vine, the Brown Turkey fig, a Little Ruby Fig, two chestnut trees, two grape Vines, a couple of Jujubes, a mulberry, a Meader Persimmon, some raspberry and blackberry brambles, a bunch of strawberries, some honey berries, a gooseberry, some elderberries and currants. It'll be so hard to wait.

My fuyu persimmon died when it got to 7 degrees. I replaced them with a couple others, but then I realized the ones I bought were made for zone 8 :( The local nurseries here don’t sell cold hardy trees often. Many of the trees they sell here only need 300 chill hours and we get 1200. They also sell too many zone 8 plants when we are zone 7 I hope you get some apples. This will be the first year I get apples I hope

Hello, I’ve heard that pawpaw trees release a chemical from their root system that will poison other plants and trees close to them, I think I heard an arborist on social media mention this but it may be an old wives tale!! Also, I’m in 7A myself.

To produce fruit, a pawpaw tree must receive pollen from flowers on another tree. They are self-incompatible.

Looks glorious! Thanks for all the varietal suggestions. Don't you need two pawpaws in order to get fruit? We just planted two here in zone 7b (put in native persimmons, elderberries, and a Celeste fig last fall!).

I have a Celeste from Home Depot and it has been in the ground for 6 years it is less than a foot tall. Fertilized, watered, just frozen in time, and I am about to pull it out. So, not the fastest growing tree for me.Zone 7 B Virginia

Can I get some of your concord grape seeded cuttings?

Grafted trees produce fruit in two to three years, while seedling trees may take up to 10 years. to bear fruit.

How old is the kiwi? I need to check mine

Where did u get your cherry tree combo from and do u know how much was it?

are you dave from zone 7a on houzz?

Paw paw trees need a pollinator. If you only have one tree you will never get fruit.

Seeds please

Unless your PawPaw has male and female flower you won't get fruit ...
