re: Moving into my first home this weekend, want to plant a fruit tree

I’ve planted an olive tree in every house we have had. Always been the opposite problem (I.e. it doesn’t stay cold long enough for fruit to produce) in the Deep South. However they grow well and are beautiful trees. Up in Monroe, you likely would have enough cold to produce fruit.

might also consider a dwarf variety to make it easier to cover/protect

satsumas are generally more cold tolerant than oranges
