Anyone from central Oklahoma on here? I have a individual looking for some guidance as to what varieties are most suitable for that area. Apple, pear, apricot, cherry, peach, plum? Thanks!
I think @mksmth is from that area. Maybe he will see this and have some input. I am about three hours from that area but we are colder and have more rain. The soil changes out that way too.

im from tulsa but my knowledge is limited on the best varieties for here. What I did is try and grow what the commericial orchards like livesay peaches in porter grow. if it works for them it should work for me. I can say that Cherries dont like our summer heat. OSU has a fact sheet on the best varieties but its old and out of date. Livesay grows redhaven, elberta, loring, glohaven, cresthaven and few others Im not sure of. I know they grow jonathan apples. They have a facebook page and are very responsive to messages. Your friend could message them and ask. keep in mind they are east of tulsa and central Oklahoma has a much different soil and conditions. I think there are some commercial orchards near OKC also.
