B.C. gardeners grieve as they take stock of cold snap's toll

We lost our feijoa this year even though we covered and lightly heated them. They had survived colder winters but I think this time the temperature dropped too suddenly.

We lost Chilean guava last year.

I am not willing to try any more zone 8 plants in Vancouver but I haven't figured out what to replace them with.

On that note, what are everyone's favourite fruit trees/shrubs to grow in the Lower Mainland? We have figs, Italian plums, blueberries, and kiwi berries. I am considering adding pears or mulberries.
