Did you know? Southwest Utah has an incredible climate for growing fruit!

Thanks to our warm summers and long growing season, many fruits thrive right here at home. From backyard trees to small orchards, you can successfully grow:
🍑 Peaches & apricots
🍒 Cherries & plums
🍇 Grapes & figs
🍓 Strawberries
🌰 Even nuts like almonds, pecans & pistachios

Higher elevation areas in Washington County can even support apples, pears, raspberries, and blackberries

Keep in mind:
Our biggest challenges aren’t winter cold—it’s spring frosts and summer heat, so choosing the right variety and planting location makes all the difference!

Whether you’re planting your first tree or expanding your garden, Southwest Utah is a great place to grow your own fresh, local fruit.

What fruit are you growing (or want to try)? Drop it in the comments!

Are your trees starting to bloom? 🌸

Spring is arriving across Washington County, and blossoms are beginning to pop out on fruit trees and ornamentals. We’d love to see what’s blooming in your yard or neighborhood.

📸 Share a photo in the comments of your trees in bloom and tell us what kind of tree it is (if you know). Peach, apricot, plum, almond, ornamental cherry—we want to see them all.

Your photo might help others learn what is blooming right now in our area. Let’s celebrate spring together!
