sneakz:
Hey everyone, I have given up on trying to grow all these kind of tropical and rare fruits. And now I'm looking for recommendations of fruits that can grow here!

Now I just want to enjoy what nature gives here, in zone 7a, without greenhouses. Please leave a comment down below with your favourite fruits that you have successfully grown in zone 7a, also include variety of you can!

Thanks to everyone that will reply!

SoCalGardenNut:
I think you can grow jujube, they are ok even zone 5.
Apple, pear, cherry, are easy to grow in colder zone too.
In my area, I have to select low chill variety.

BloomAndSprout:
Jujube (Sugar Cane variety, Li is the basic classic but there are better varieties, best to get two),
 you can do figs as well,
 feijoa might survive especially with some protection on the really cold nights (Tanaka, Albert's varieties, Katieri are good, but sure which varieties have better cold tolerance). 
Pawpaw is a definite yes, wild fruits are variable so maybe try some KSU varieties like Chappell (get two varieties),
medlars and hawthorns (medlar practically is a hawthorn),
maybe an Opuntia (cactus),
you can probably grow parfianka or wonderful pomegranates.... 
Cornelian cherry will happily grow there....
PROBABLY loquat...
Strawberry tree/madrone... Compacta is the easiest to get, but I think there are other varieties that taste better that you'd have to hunt around for...
Seaberries I've wanted to eventually grow myself, will definitely thrive there but you need a male,
and of course, PERSIMMONS.
