A person considering the possibility of planting fruit trees in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 7 has several types of trees from which to choose. The climate of zone 7 makes it ideal for apple trees, pear trees and several stone fruit trees.
Types
Cultivars and varieties of dwarf and standard-size apples can thrive in zone 7, and some areas are friendly to pears. Several stone fruits---apricots, peaches, pears, plums and cherries---also may be grown throughout the zone.
Geography
Zone 7 runs in a band across central, southeastern and southern parts of the United States. It includes parts of Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Iowa and Texas. Annual average lows of zone 7 range from 0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Plantings must be based on weather conditions specific to each location.
Considerations
Different cultivars may be suited to different areas throughout the zone. Among nectaries, for example, Sun Red is rated for zone 7, while plum cultivars Gulfruby and Gulfred are considered adaptable to the zone. Not all varieties tolerate zone 7's summertime temperatures, which in some areas may reach and remain in the 90s for long stretches, and sometimes exceed 100. When matching a fruit tree to a zone, it's important to research not only the fruit in general, but also the cultivar in particular.
