What are early-ripening temperate/northern fruit crops (minor and major) that 
ripen before July in zones 5-7? 
The only ones that I am aware of are:

Strawberries (cultivated and wild) - in June 
Juneberries (Serviceberries, Saskatoons, etc.) - In June
Blueberries (i.e. cv. 'Earliblue') 
[?]Black-raspberries (i.e. cv. 'Jewel' - late June?)



Secondly, what are the July-ripening fruit crops (minor and major)?  Note: 
only some varieties of the following ripen in July...

Sweet-cherries 
Blueberries 
Apricot
Peaches & Nectarines
Blackberries & Black-raspberries
Apple 
Figs? (cv.?)

Please add any you are aware of to the above two schedules.


Thanks,
