Hi Jade,
Fruit trees like the one's you mention need a certain number of chill hours in order to produce fruit...however there are many low chill varieties that might work....one variety if you can find it is Anna Apple. It was developed in Israel and fruits year round in mild coastal areas of Southern California. The tree has no internal clock so to speak and doesn't seem to go dormant. Off the top of my head I can't recall named low-chill varieties of the others you mention. I am a bit of a crazy gardener and like to push the limits of what can and can't be grown...there is always a risk in gardening of what will and won't be a success.If you can get me the names of the varieties you are interested in, I can do a little research for you.
Take-care, Andy
