I know very little about gardening. But I would like some fruit trees on my property.

I'm on a mountain about 1700 elevation. I'm facing sun rise. And can make it full sun light or some or none.  

I would like to get fruit trees that are already mature.

Thank you y'alls help.

Search for fruitbook9 on the net.  It is specific to the southeast.  Easy to grow fruit trees are what I did.
Some trees, like pawpaw do not like transplanting.  Get some good rootstock and learn how to graft.  Get scions of named varieties.

Welcome to Permies!

It looks like I live just two counties away from yours, and I can tell you that we can grow really nice peach trees down here, although these late last frosts of the past couple years have interfered with the fruit coming. But the trees definitely thrive!

Apples do pretty well here as long as you have enough sun for them. I planted mine in a shady garden, not knowing they need tons of sun, and sadly they got a fungus and died.

Blueberries, while not trees, give fruit and it's a very happy blueberry season here right now!

Sorry for the late reply. We've been moving.

Thank you for this! I noticed on a walk yesterday there was a pair tree. So I'll be adding peaches and apples in a few months.
 
You are HERE! The other map is obviously wrong. Better confirm with this tiny ad:
