Greg, I agree with the suggestion of talking with your county agent. Box stores and some garden centers will sell varieties that are not the best for your area. Peach trees are rated for chilling hours, which is the number of hours between about 32-45 degree F temperature during the winter. A high chill hour (800+) tree is good for mid to northern climates. A low chill hour (200-400) is good for the deep south. If you choose a low chill hour tree in a cold climate, it will get the blossoms freeze damaged most years. I have a Santa Rosa plum that I bought at a local garden center. I am in Eastern VA. Each year it blossoms in late February, when there are no bees or other pollinators active to pollinate it. It never has any plums unless I hand pollinate it. Do some research and find out what fruit trees that grow successfully in your area.
