Andy, 



Check out Stark Brothers Nursery in Missouri. They're on the web. They have good fruit trees that will grow in most places.

Ours went bananas.  On a half dozen trees I would estimate between 3000 
and 4000 apples.  Branches broke. :(  But the cider is so sweet we cut 
it with seltzer.  We started eating them in mid-july and still have a 
few hundred left on the branches.  Trees need pruning badly as the 
previous owners did not tend to them well at all and their stoopid 
foogin' horses cribbed the hell out of them.  I want to get maybe 
another dozen in, and cherries, more peaches and pears, plums, etc.
