Aspens grow quite well here; they thrive in the wild in most any draw in the mountains. But they aren't exactly xeric - down here they would require a lot of watering!
I haven't tried a cherry tree yet. Not sure why... My nectarine tree has been a constant source of frustration though. It seems we always get beautiful weather for awhile here, long enough for buds to form and begin to open, followed by 2 weeks of clouds/rain/wind, every spring.
Needless to say, I've never had any fruit on this tree. It is a very healthy and pretty tree though. I had one just like it in San Jose and the fruit was too delicious for words!!! I've never had a peach or nectarine like these before (or since)!

Also, if I had the space and the climate was right, I'd have an apricot and a cherry tree; but that's just me.
Although I haven't tried them myself (yet), everyone I know who has them say they don't get any usable fruit because between the birds and the deer they are pretty much stripped. I'm going to try, anyway (=stubborn)
