| This question is asked frequently here and there are many threads full of information to answer your question, but the answer may not be as simple as you expect. There are many factors you may want to consider before deciding what to buy. There are no perfect choices, so you have to decide what's important to you. One place that might be a good place to start (besides doing some searches and reading here) is your local agricultural extension office. They may have a list of varieties that are known to do well in your area. I can provide a list of suppliers (with ratings). The list may seem very large, but, since many of the companies carry only a limited amount of varieties, it helps to be able to search a larger number of companies. If you want much of a selection, it's likely you will have to shop with more than one vendor. Here are some good* mail order sources for various types of fruit plants:
