I'd love to, but I really don't think many fruit trees besides apples would survive Minnesota winters too well. Mom planted a peach tree in the yard when I was growing up in Missouri, but it got some sort of disease after a couple years and didn't make it . I don't know a whole lot about fruit trees, but I think some can be fussy and prone to disease. I'm sure there might be a few varieties that could make it up here, but I haven't really looked into it.

I like the apple trees but they can be a bit of a pain too in the fall, they drop apples like crazy and attract swarms of bees and yellowjackets. Tommy got stung a few times when he tried to pick up the "balls" on the ground to play with. But the apples we do get are sure tasty
