I went with apples and peaches. I picked apples over cherries, because I think cherries should be more of a summer fruit (same with oranges honestly). Peaches are a great option too because I feel that rather than contrast against the snow, they actually compliment it a bit better.
Peaches were my native fruit in City Folk and New Leaf, so that's actually my favorite fruit in general. But I've actually started thinking about changing my trees... so that it appears that certain fruit is "in season." So switching out all fruit trees with plain hardwood trees. Then change some of them out to cherries and oranges during the summer, but come fall change them back to plain hardwood. In the fall, change some of the OTHER trees to pears and apples. I think that winter is silly to have fruit (or flowers) growing, but I wouldn't mind having that be when my peaches are around. Spring is a time for renewed growth, so none of the fruit is ready yet! I don't know, just an idea in my mind, not sure if I really want to implement it or not.
I didn't know that!! But thank you! Then I'd definitely have oranges in the winter time... actually I'm going to look up all the fruits and list them in the seasons they actually seem to be more prevalent!I think this is a fun idea—I love the idea of things being more “in season”.
Surprisingly though, oranges and other citrus fruit are typically harvested during the winter months. That’s why you’ll start seeing clementines (often called “cuties”) appear in grocery stores this time of year.

Winter: Oranges (November through May)
Spring: Cherries (April through July)
Summer: Peaches (May through September)
Autumn: Apples (September through November)
Pears are an oddity in that they really seem to be a late summer- early fall fruit. (August through October)
I change my flowers by my shops and houses month to month - although flowers by the residents' houses do tend to stay the same for a few months at a time. So I could do the same with my trees so that they match what I have above. There would actually always be fruit of some kind every month, so it's not as if the island would be without something at any given time. I do still think that apples are nice in winter for contrast, and peaches are good for just vibing with the winter colors. But if oranges are nature's choice... who am I to argue?
