Hello Albert,

I've pulled together some extension resources for you to check out that list recommended fruit trees for the Front Range.  We caution that peach trees are riskier to grow here as they bloom early and are often zapped by late season frosts.  A good time to plant is after May 15th when risk of frost should be over, but before it starts getting hot in June.

The first link is from Jeffco master gardeners, it describes different fruit tree varieties:  http://jeffcogardener.blogspot.com/2016/04/recommended-fruit-tree-varieties-for.html  

Here is a fact sheet that contains facts and tips about apple, cherry, pears etc. as well as other good fruit tree information:  https://cmg.extension.colostate.edu/gardening-resources/online-garden-publications/tree-fruits/  

I hope you find these resources useful.  Please contact us again if you've more questions.
