Reading about Backyard Orchard Culture and getting excited. I have two hazelnut trees and a lime tree that I have greened out in pots through the spring and summer. I am thinking in the next two weeks to put them in the ground. 

Walking out my space I have room for 6 to 9 trees depending on how close I space rows and keep pruned. 

I would like to add another hazelnut and a apple tree. Any other good suggestions for dwarf varieties in Zone 9b?

 check harvest storage implications is one thing i ran into 

 Avocado trees can be kept to a manageable size with pruning. Variety also plays a role. Some varieties grow in the shape of a tall spike, others grow outwards. 

Banana plants are another good option. their unique shape and trainability gives you the opportunity to plant an odd shaped spaces. My favorite variety when I lived in San Diego was a dwarf red, super sweet.
