Fruit Trees for Newport Beach Patios, Bay Fronts and Bluffs

These varieties enjoy mild coastal weather or grow happily in patio containers.
Availability changes often. Check our inventory or call 760-434-5085 before you make the drive.
CHERIMOYA
Booth Cherimoya for Mild Coastal Air
Cherimoya prefers mild summers, so coastal Newport is a natural fit. Booth is a hardy variety with creamy, sweet flesh. Shelter it from direct salt spray on the harbor side.
In our yard: Booth, Dr. White
SURINAM CHERRY
Lolita and Chamba Surinam Cherry
Surinam cherry makes a glossy, clipped hedge that also fruits. Lolita has nearly black fruit with low resin flavor. Chamba ripens deep red. New leaves flush bronze-red in spring.
In our yard: Surinam Lolita, Surinam Chamba, Acerola, Capulin, Minnie Royal, Royal Lee
PATIO CITRUS
Meyer Lemon, Calamondin and Kumquat
Citrus in glazed pots dresses up any Balboa Island or Corona del Mar patio. Meyer lemon is the top choice for cooks. Calamondin and kumquat stay small and showy. Use fast-draining potting mix.
In our yard: Meyer Lemon, Calamondin, Nagami Kumquat, Fukushu Kumquat, Buddha Hand
AVOCADO
Reed and Hass Avocados
Avocados handle coastal Orange County well when they get good drainage. Reed ripens in summer, after many Hass crops finish. Together, the two can keep your kitchen stocked for much of the year.
In our yard: Reed, Hass, Fuerte, Lamb Hass
PLUMERIA
Plumeria for Fragrant Patios
Plumeria is not a fruit tree, but it thrives on sunny Newport patios. The fragrant blooms bring a Hawaiian feel to pool decks and entryways. It grows well in pots and likes dry winters.
In our yard: Plumeria, Bird of Paradise, Champaca
FEIJOA
Pineapple Guava Hedges
Pineapple guava tolerates salt breeze and clips into a neat screen. Fruit drops when ripe in fall and tastes like pineapple and mint. Gray-green foliage suits coastal design palettes.
In our yard: Pineapple/Feijoa, Strawberry Guava, Mexican Cream
