From the trees I've seen growing in Medowie and other areas around Raymond Terrace I would be surprised if you cannot grow all that you have listed. Probably apricot, plums, peach and nectarine at least in stone fruits. I have no experience of plumcots. There is also a Macadamia farm at Medowie so these may be a possibility. By the way I would expect you to be able to grow citrus as well - lemon, organge, grapefruit, cumquats, mandarines. Good luck

So it's NSW? Then keep in mind low chill may be required if north or near coast.

Michele, I have apple, pineapple, banana, cherimoya, white sapote, black sapote, jaboticaba, Yellow jaboticaba, custard apple, cherry, kumquat, mango, grapefruit, lemon, monstera, white shattoot, white fig, strawberry guava, giant lau lau and pomegranate. They are all less than 2 years old but are all growing steadily so I'm confident of a crop eventually. There are bananas ripening and a single black sapote fruit slowly getting larger. I also have a heap of bushtucker plants like Davidson plum, finger lime, cedar bay cherry, small leaf tamarind, macadamia, peanut tree and various lilly pillies. My failures include white wax jambu, grumichama and panama berry which died and a sapodilla that has neither died nor grown in two years.
