If you don't have one already, you should order a copy of the Bear Creek Nursery
Catalog.  It has a TERRIFIC selection of fruit and nut trees.  You can order it
online from http://www.gardennet.com/BearCreek/default.htm.  I'm in
Massachusetts, and I order all my nut trees from Bear Creek in WA.  They do just
fine here and just about everywhere in zones 4-6 (depending upon the cultivar).
