Find the county extension office for the area. They will have good
advice on what kind and what variety grows well in your area.

Susan,

My guess would be that most county extension offices are not into fruit
trees.

That's odd, mine does.

and this was only for home gardeners. Don't let Doo scare you off. First
check the web site given by Susan.
I would try
specialists at Universities, message forums like ours, and those of
several
fruit clubs throughout
the USA. My club Midfex at www.midfex.org has links to some of these
clubs,
like the
Northern Nut Growers Association.
