Geography

• Citrus trees grow best in the parts of Arizona that never get frost, since it can destroy the fruit. If you live in a part of the state where the elevation is higher, like Sedona or Oak Creek, plant trees that need a chilling period to produce fruit, including peaches and plums.
  
  

Types

• Besides the typical citrus fruit like oranges, Arizona gardeners can plant trees that produce tangelos and blood oranges. Among deciduous fruit trees, pears, cherries and apples all grow in Arizona.
  
  

Considerations

• Manzanillo and Sevillano olive trees can also be grown in parts of Arizona. Numerous varieties of almond trees can also thrive in the area.
