We have 1 dwarf Chehalis apple tree that we planted last spring and we are looking for another dwarf fruit tree to plant this year. The Chehalis apple was donated by a local nursery that has a large stock of trees in pots. When I asked for a donation this year I got a semi dwarf weeping Santa Rosa plum. Which does not fit the site or the population of this assisted living facility. I need recommendations on what type of dwarf fruit tree that has disease resistance and will grow rapidly. The site is in Southeast Portland and the trees face east. Ciao
