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!)

    We have a loquat tree, were asian we harvest it all the time. the bees go nuts for it once it start flowering. it does take a long time to grow to a sizable tree with a good harvest. birds never go after the loquats though. i think it has been around for 30+years.

      It takes a long time, but it doesn’t require help? Something like that is worth waiting for.

        i think it fruits quickly if you are layering, or using a clipping. ive seen smaller ones fruit. i forgot my dad either grew it from seed or from branching(might be branching).
