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!)

    Peaches are great to have because they’re so different from what you get at the grocery store. A peach ripened on the tree is much more flavorful than once picked unripe, but a ripe peach is so soft that they pick them unripe for shipping. Pulling a ripe peach off the tree and eating it is a religious experience.

      When I was a child my neighbor had a peach tree. Me and my brothers would hop the fence and grab a bunch whenever they started to ripen. So much better than store brought peaches.
