I am the proud owner of a peach tree and am currently picking (and devouring) peaches every day, so here's today's question:

If you could have any fruit tree, what would it be and why?
 
It's so hard for me to choose! I would probably say grapefruit because I have always loved them, but I also love avocado (and guacamole!) so I might have to go with both.
 
I have to choose only one?? omg Monica this is a horrible horrid choice! I am a fruity person! and I love so many! I couldn't pick just one! I have sooooo many favorites! I really love fruit! *L* we go through so much here weekly

Mangos....raspberries...strawberries...pineapples...necturines...peaches..oranges..apples...grapes...watermelons...plums...avacados....

I wish I lived closer to you... I love peaches! I think if I lived in a warmer climate year round I would have an avocado tree, because we eat avocados more than peaches.

We eat avocados a lot too but it drives me crazy trying to find some that are perfectly ripe!

We have the same problem. I did find a hack the other day to ripen avocados. It said to put a banana in a bag with the avocados. Close it and wait overnight and it should ripen the avocados. I'll have to try it next time I need a ripe one.
 
I would also have a tough time choosing just one. I love avocados and all citrus. And I like pretty much all fruits.
 
We had peach trees when I was little and that was by far the best fruit I've ever eaten... a tree ripen peach warm from the sunshine. I'd love to have one of those again!

You liked them warm?! I prefer them cold from the fridge. They are so good right off a tree though!
 
I want to plant peach trees next year. And apple and pear. And some blackberry/raspberry bushes.

The peach will probably come first because it's hard to get good peaches. And I can't decide which apple types to plant!

(What type of peach tree do you have?)
 
At our old house, we had 10 mature fruit trees, 3 apple, prune plum, damson, apricot, sour Cherry, two peach and a nectarine. They were a lot of work in the summer but we loved having all the fresh fruit straight off the trees. I think I gained 15 pounds while we lived there with all the desserts, jam and preserves I made. When we moved to our current home, we only planted one fruit tree, a nectarine, which has produced the most wonderful fruit over the past 20 years.

I’m impressed you want so many trees! My one is almost too much work for me haha

I don’t know what type it is except that they’re the kind that peel easily and are ripe in August. If you’re going to bottle them (I never do but I have in the past) then you want them to peel easily. Sorry I’m not more help!

Ten mature fruit trees would be so overwhelming! That’s a full time job! I’m glad your lone nectarine tree is wonderful; I think I’d prefer nectarines because I usually scrub off the peach fuzz.
 
I just want them all...
except peaches and avocados (but I do like guac) :giggle Those are really the only ones I dislike, also watermelon.
We had a plum tree when I was a little girl. My dad planted it for me :)
