All three of these are for the same region. I would try just a couple and see how they do. You will need to cover them though on the hard freezes to give them a chance. And if you do, the number one mistake people make, is leaving the cover on. Dont go to work and leave plastic on them in the daytime or it can burn them.

My personal opinion is brown select are as hardy as any of them.

the point of picking off the young fruit on a newly planted tree is that all the energy the plant would put into making fruit it will put into making a nice root system that will keep it alive if it freezes that winter. The fruit will grow and may or may not fall off, but if the fruit grows and it freezes that winter the risk of it dying from the cold increases. In reality it's all up to the person. I've seen all situations done and work just fine.

Satsumas etc. store very well on the tree, you can leave them on for months and they dont go bad. Great tree for any sunny backyard

I would give it a try,

Bayer Fruit Tree

It covers a number of insects and other diseases.
