2026-10-16 · Andrew Barella
Our wet springs and dry summers (USDA zones 7-8 west of the Cascades) are great for fruit, as long as you pick varieties that shrug off disease.
1. Liberty apple
Highly resistant to apple scab, the PNW's number one apple problem. Crisp and tart-sweet. Shop Liberty
2. Honeycrisp apple
Cold hardy, with explosive crunch. Give it good airflow. Shop Honeycrisp
3. Hosui Asian pear
Asian pears love our climate and bear young. Plant two varieties for pollination. Shop Hosui
4. Lapins cherry
Self-fertile and resists cracking in rain at harvest. Shop Lapins
5. Chicago Hardy fig
Plant it against a south wall and you'll get figs by August. Shop fig
6. Santa Rosa plum
Self-fruitful and productive. Shop plum
7. Blueberries (any two varieties)
Our acidic soils are ideal. Shop blueberries
Tip: Bare-root trees ship January to April and are the cheapest way to plant. Potted trees ship most of the year.
