Once a year, Paradise Plants brings in a container of bare-root low-chill softwood and stone fruit trees. I think it's in January; they sell out in just a couple of days.
Their resident expert can tell you which trees are likely to work at a given elevation -- and it's not just "elevation", people are getting apples in Seaview where the coastal exposure creates some chill despite the lack of elevation.
There are also low-chill varietals of blueberry which seem to be even more "tolerant" than the low-chill apples.
