Good morning!
Sorry for the delay in response. Yes fruit trees do grow at that high of elevation!
At our office located in Golden at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds we have an orchard that is open for the public to be able to come and see how fruit trees are managed.
Here are a couple reference videos:
