Sadly not, it's fucking cold here! If I am lucky I can get Apple blossom in spring xD
I have several apple, pear and one cherry tree. The neighbors have crabapple and cherry trees. We get sour cherries that are great for pies and jams. I have also canned up brandies pears and apples, although it takes a bunch of brandy.
I forgot to add, we have a hive of bees and are really hoping they survive this year. About 50% of the hives are dying recently.

Sounds like Hevan! Do you have your own orchard? Friends with 60 apple trees, so we celebrate three times a year at their place. Apple blossom festival, harvest time and in winter apple punch festival or glög feast.

No, we only have what I posted above. I was working on the yard on the “edible landscaping” theory. I also have some really nice hazelnut bushes/trees, but the squirrels generally get to them before they are ripe and annihilate the possible harvest. The squirrels are just insatiable little buggers and they live in our huge maple trees, so it is hard to keep them off the fruit and nuts.
In the neighborhood there are also walnut and butternut trees all over.
