| John: You get plenty of chilling and if you get them on a dwarf rootstock, they won't get too big. But the humidity and rain are a big issue. That causes fruit splitting as it matures and tree diseases. They do bear at an early age on New Root 1 or Gisela 5 rootstocks but the trees are unlikely to live more than 5-8 years in your climate. If your soil doesn't drain well they may not live long enough to bear, the third year. |
