You can definitely grow a variety of fruit trees in 6b! While citrus trees aren’t ideal for this zone, consider going for a dwarf Meyer lemon in a pot. Just make sure to bring it indoors during the colder months to keep it warm and safe!

Citrus probably won’t thrive outdoors, but you’re good to go with apples, pears, cherries, peaches, apricots, and plums! You might wanna check out some gardening websites to find the best options for your zone. They provide great resources for finding the right fruit trees suitable for 6b.
