Fruit Trees in Zone 8

jtharper76 · January 22, 2010

Ok after growing Tomatoes now for 3 years with success, I am ready to add to my little back yard with 2 types of fruit trees. I want to start a Peach (not sure what variety) and a Satsuma (again not sure what variety). So I have some questions that I need to get answers to and the VILLE has been so good for my tomatoes now I am hoping to get some great advice on peaches and satsumas.

Question #1 - I know Satsumas will grow well here in Zone 8 of Louisiana, but what about peaches?

Question #2 - Could you recommend some varieties that you think would do well in this area

Question #3 - When do I plant these? I know I will not get fruit year one but I need to know when to plant them.

Thanks for any help you could give
