Not necessarily your favourite fruit to eat, but what is/are your favourite fruit tree(s) to grow based on survival rate, fruit yield, ease of maintenance, ease of harvest, grass-killing prowess, and any other combination of factors? What is/are your least favourite? If you have photos or diagrams to illustrate your point, even better!

(If you provide your region and/or Köppen-Geiger or Trewartha climate zone, it will help others to know what to plant or what to avoid!)

Sounds like you have a supply of fruit already, but there's no telling what might happen to those trees going forward, so it's always a good idea to continue to plant younger generations that can grow up to replace them.

In a different area definitely, at this point these have several caretakers, which is part of the plan post-move. The back there will be right by some parks, so I'm going to line the whole area with a few varieties. Thought about maybe doing some of those dwarf trees for easy reach for folks, but I haven't seen them in the wild (lol) so I don't have experience with them, but I'm going to try a few and see how it goes.

I'd be interested in getting any updates on your efforts there! You'll be setting a positive example for others around here.

Will do! Its part of a much larger move (and home build or remodel depending) which will be next year as long as everything works out.
