The property came with a dozen or so enormous (>6m / 20ft) apple and cherry trees planted about a century ago and all but 3 of them are barely alive, so this spring I’ve cleared some space and added:
4 peach trees, 2 varietals
4 apricot trees, 2 varietals
2 Japanese plum trees (technically not a plum)
8 cherry trees, 4 varietals
3 plum trees, 2 varietals
10 apple trees, 5 varietals
4 pear trees, 4 varietals
2 pear-shaped quince trees
2 Japanese quince bushes
6 currant bushes, 2 varietals
Assuming most of them survive I’ll be set as far as fruit I can grow in my zone are concerned. Well, I could use 2-3 asian/american hybrid persimmons to have a full set, but they are very hard to find and expensive - I’d have to pay more for 2 than I’ve paid for the 40+ listed above…
HabanadaNadapeno peppers - a non-spicy jalapeno. I will get to enjoy jalapeno taste even when cooking for family members who find mayo spicy ;-)Also the 40+ fruit trees I’ve planted last week, but I’ll have to wait 2-3 years for the first fruit from those.
We’ll need another post to know more about those fruit trees as well

Habanadas are non spicy habeneros. The non spicy jalapenos have another name I’m forgetting.
I grew habanadas last year and really didn’t like the flavor, which was disappointing since people really love them.
Nadapenos. I have those too - brain fart mixed it up
Are those available in the regular grocery store?
That’s going to be very location dependent - e.g. I can’t reliably get regular habaneros even in large grocery stores where I live…
