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!)
I planted spicezee nectaplum- it’s a beautiful tree- dark purple leaves, self pollinating and has made it to fruit production faster than plums I planted a year earlier. Excited to taste the fruit this year.
Any everbearing citrus. It’s amazing that they fruit year round. The convenience of always having a lemon, can’t be beat.
Loquat. It just grows so well where I live, even if you don’t water it. Basically you can ignore it, and it fruits in a season when there’s nothing else. I just made a batch of loquat butter in my slow cooker.
