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’ve eaten that fruit. Do those plants have any trouble with Fusarium wilt or other fungal infections? What are the temperatures where you grow them? In this part of the world, they’re only grown at high elevations that are too cold for durian.

      I don’t know, it’s my first year growing them. I grow them hydroponically in pots on my south facing balcony in Germany, and over the winter I’ll take them inside.

        Ah, okay. They wouldn’t really be exposed to soil fungus that way. Would be interesting to see how well they handle the summer heat there.
