I dunno--I think only citrus trees are sensitive to the cold. Most others thrive in climates with a winter, just not MY winter.
Also, have you priced fruit trees online?!?!?
$15/sapling is a steal. That is Box store clearance price.
I bought my Magnolia Jane, now 14 ft tall and 16 in wide at the base with several leaders from the roots, was $9 on clearance, at WalMart.
Btw, it is native but Not native. Magnolias are native in the south, this is a hybrid, and I have not ever noticed any insects predating upon it.
That is why the Bradford Pear was so popular, bc insects wouldn't eat it.
It is Very invasive. I have not noticed ANY Magnolia seedlings growing anywhere under or near mine.
Just oak trees, from sloppy squirrel plantings, ALL OF THEM in the wrong places where I might like one.

This time of the year I like to have a big salad for breakfast. This morning it's both English and Lebanese cucumbers, mini red sweet peppers, and cherry tomatoes.

Rhubarb Strawberry Pie. The cornstarch/tapioca was balanced right on these three pies and a slice makes a tasty second breakfast :).

Zucchini Bread. Little olde lady that we take some to each year claims that they are the best which, of course, is pleasing to hear. The only way I, personally, enjoy zucchini ;).

Late bok choy planting was started a little bit early this year. Anticipation of the normal wasn't the best idea for this above normal, warm September. The green amaranth is blooming. I should take a picture of the one plant remaining from the Summer harvest. It looks so much like redroot pigweed that it's funny. Tastes better and more tender than its close cousin :D.

Thunderous harvest of green beans from return of the early crop and a continuing late planting. And, Other Things from the Garden!
