Hey everyone! I'm new here and super thankful for all the valuable info I've found so far. I have a small yard with an apple and a cherry tree, and I'm looking to add 2-3 more fruit trees. I'm based in zone 7b/8a and want some suggestions for trees that would complement my existing ones. Ideally, I'm hoping for a variety that would provide diverse nutrients and offer different preservation options or recipes beyond just eating the fruits fresh. Any ideas?

You could try planting a peach, nectarine, persimmon, apricot, or pear tree. If you go for a plum, I’d suggest the greengage variety for its flavor!
I’m in the same zone as you and have a peach, cherry, plum, and even a pomegranate. We've also got a blood orange and a lemon that we manage to overwinter. They all do quite well!
