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!)

Your plum woes call to mind horror stories of cherimoya in the tropics... We should all learn to eat what we can grow rather than stubbornly trying to grow everything that we'd like to eat.

🎵 To the tune of Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Salt it, harder,
Can it, better,
Dry it, faster,
Pickle, stronger.

Freeze it, colder,
Smoke it, slower,
Ferment, longer,
Keep it, fresher

I still get more than I can eat, so I usually give some away to family and friends
