I'm in new Mexico and in a 1,200 year mega drought but I can grow apple trees, which shouldn't grow here.
Ones that lasted 4 years and weren't killed by hail, frost or weren't eaten by deer, or had roots eaten by moles have rooted in and need little to no irrigation and are growing like crazy.
My neighbor is graphing orange tree branches on an apple tree and it appears to be working. Funny how you actually can get oranges from an apple tree, in new Mexico during a mega drought.
