Default RE: Fruit trees

Here in MO we have wet, windy, and cold springs. It can be near 80 for a few days or weeks and then dip down into the 20s. We have a production apple crop in the state, but as far as I know they are all planted on hills.

We had a few apple trees near my house when I was a kid, but only once did I every remember them bearing enough to pick in the fall. We had a few peach trees as well, and we never was able to eat a single fruit from them.

I could put a few up on some higher land, but that is not where I would like to see them at. How about plums? Wild plums do very well in the valleys, but I don' t know about the domested varities. I may just have to stick to regular food plots, but I get tire of hearing about apples and deer and not being able to cash into it. I may try a tree or two of the frost resistant varities for the heck of it.

Thanks for the imput from you guys.
