Can I grow yellow fruit trees at home?

The answer

Often yes, if you choose varieties that suit your climate. Citrus generally needs frost-free or nearly frost-free conditions, while peaches, apricots, pears and plums need a cold winter, so check your hardiness zone and the variety's chill hours. Dwarf trees and large containers suit small spaces, and a lemon in a pot can be moved to shelter in cold weather. Expect a few years before a meaningful harvest, and ask a local nursery which varieties and rootstocks do well.
