Selecting non-marginal fruit for cool summers and mild winters (East SF Bay Area Zone 10a)

Never heard of yellow lemon guava! I grew up eating tropical guava, which I adore. Only to discover the temperate pineapple guava here in California—which I actually prefer now, as the Brazilian guavas are rather seedy in comparison. I find the flavor of the pineapple guava to be more delicate too, in a pleasing way. Can’t wait to someday try lemon guava! Thanks for the tip

We have more room for more trees eventually. I’m intimidated by peach because I keep hearing local reports of diseased and deceased peach trees, but maybe it’s a random pattern. I have heard our spring rain can impact the apricot blooms, which come early. But it might be worth growing for those glorious seasons that work out well! My partner also is hoping to eventually try some low-chill cherries. Personally, I’m a little nuts about apples, and find it hard to resist trying to cram as many apples trees in as we can. There will be some negotiating! :smile:
