People are so capricious and demanding that we often want to get what we want when and where we want it regardless of whether it is the right thing to do or not. This general rule is also applicable to gardening, and that is that we believe that we can always plant any species hoping that it adapts to the soil or climate conditions and develops as they should, when this is often impossible.
Therefore, if you want to plant some fruit trees in your garden and that over time they bear fruit you must take into account the climates in which they develop and not be guided only by your desire to have it, since this is not enough for it to work. For this reason, in EcologíaVerde we show you a list of fruit trees for each climate, so that you can better choose what to plant in your land or garden.
List of fruit trees for each climate
Pay attention to the main fruit trees most suitable for each type of climate and those plants most recommended for them:
- Cold climates: they suffer continuous frost and reach temperatures of up to 10ºC below zero. Some of the best fruit trees for this type of climate are cherry, plum, raspberry, currant (black, red or thorny), strawberry tree, apple tree, peach tree, blackberry, pear tree, grape vine or blackberry.
- Temperate and cool Mediterranean climate: they are stable, with temperatures that rarely fall below -10ºC and hardly suffer frosts. Almond, chestnut, pomegranate, passion fruit, kiwi, fig, olive, pine nuts or pistachio trees are the most recommended for these characteristics.
- Mediterranean: they do not usually suffer frosts and do not fall below 5ºC below zero. Together with the previous one, it is the most common climate in our country. The ones that develop best in Mediterranean environments are tomato trees, cashew nuts, persimmons and dates, some citrus fruits such as lime, lemon or orange, grapefruit, loquats or banana trees, among many others.
- Tropical and subtropical: it is very difficult for frost to occur in these climates, as it is usually almost impossible to fall below 3ºC (this time positive). This is where delicious tropical fruits such as avocado, coconut, guava, soursop, mango, lychee, custard apple or papaya and others that we adore so much such as the cocoa plant or the coffee plant (coffee tree) are grown.
However, although it is advisable to adapt to these parameters, we can also try planting these specimens in similar climates, where they may also develop.
