Fruit Trees for Zone 7

Shop the Best Fruit Trees for Zone 7

Zone 7 might just be the sweet spot for growing fruit & nut trees in the United States. With winter lows between 0 and 10 degrees F and long, warm summers, you've got the chill hours most fruit trees need to produce well and the heat to ripen them right. We've shipped thousands of trees to Zone 7 gardens across Virginia, North Carolina and all the way up to the Pacific North West. The results are always the same; quality trees that produce for years to come.

Zone 7 opens the door to some of the most rewarding fruit trees you can grow. Figs absolutely thrive here and are practically no-fuss once established. Peaches and nectarines produce beautifully with the right variety selection. Apples, pears, persimmons, plums, and cherries all perform well too, and if you're in Zone 7b, you're flirting with some of the cold-hardier citrus options as well. Browse the collection below, or keep reading for tips on what grows best and when to plant.

Zone 7a (0 to 5 degrees F average minimum) and Zone 7b (5 to 10 degrees F) give you slightly different options on the edges, but the core lineup above works well across both.

Why Fruit Gardeners Buy Online from Perfect Plants Nursery

We put our hands on every tree offered in this collection. That means no drop shipping, no middlemen, and no mystery about where your plant has been. Unlike many other online nurseries who simply collect your money, we inspect every plant before it goes in a box to your front door. When your fruit or nut trees ships, it's a healthy, container-grown tree that's been tended by our team. We've been doing this since 1980, and we're still just as particular about what leaves our farm as we were on day one.
