Below are some popular fruit trees I'm considering to plant. Based on your own experiences, rank them with 10 as most cold hardy and 1 for least, if you would. For example, a mango might be a 7 and a lychee a 9. If you want to, include the name of the hardiest of the type- for example mamey sapote 6 viejo (takes the most cold).
Sugar apple
Atemoya
Mango
Mamey Sapote

i wont rate them with numbers, because i dont know all of them
but, i can tell you this winter we had 1 very cold night
coldest ive seen in 10yrs
i lost about 8 mango trees, 2 black sapote, 2 jackfruit (one was 8ft tall in ground)
and a Mamey in a 20gal pot. and a 6ft mango that had already fruited.
even though all of these were at least 3 yrs old (a couple of the mango were 1.5 or 2yrs)
and had received 28 or 29F temps in the past.
This year i think it hit 27F (when i woke up)
its possible it really was 26F.
My 10gal Lychee lost a couple of small twigs (new growth)
otherwise not affected.
i can say the difference in those 2 or 3 degrees was major.
its also possible that the rain had something to do with it.
it had rained for 2 days straight prior
and i think that is what killed the roots, at least on the potted plants.
I will say that Mango seems hardier than jackfruit
The Jackfruit had seen 29F before and froze almost to the roots
but this time it isnt coming back.
I read Green Sapote is hardier than Mamey by at least 2 degrees
so, i just bought one
