If you're looking to add some fruit trees to your garden this season, Costco is the place to go, with a large variety available—from peach to pomegranate to pomelo—all of which can be shipped to your house.

Keep in mind, though, that you'll want to pick trees that will grow best in your area. Find out your USDA hardiness zone to make sure you choose those that are right for your climate. For example, the Santa Rosa plum tree works best in zones 5-9 (which is a good portion of the U.S.), while the pomelo tree is ideal for zones 9–11 (including the deep South, coastal California, Florida, and Hawaii).

Here are some of our favorite fruit trees from Costco to add to your backyard.

Delicious fresh from the tree or baked into pies and tarts, juicy, wine-colored Santa Rosa plums feature a sweet-tart taste. "EZ-Pick" refers to the unique pruning of this fruit tree, resulting in a low-branching canopy that allows you to harvest without a ladder.

Lapins cherry trees produce generously sized, glossy, dark red cherries. While the plant is self-pollinating and productive on its own, planting another compatible cherry tree nearby can help increase yields.
