I think the value of fruit bearing trees are underestimated
    #13974266 - 02/16/11 03:35 PM (13 years, 17 days ago)

we have around nice 100 avocados in the refrigerator right now, and 200 left on the trees. Dont know about anyone else but I can eat these things for breakfast, lunch and dinner. pair that with rice, homemade bread, and eggs from our chickens, and the total cost to eat is about $20 a month :evil:

Anyone have fruit growing?

I used to have plums and cherries in my backyard before we moved. It was legit.

Orange trees are nice. A ripe orange on a hot summer day. Yum.

When I have my own house, I want to grow my own vegetables.
I figure if I grow them myself, I will be more motivated to eat them.

Ive had a crab apple and a quince tree.  The raspberry and blackberry Cains really deliver every year.  Some have no thorns and produce almost pingpong ball sized berries!  They were easily 8 feet high, bent over.  I guess the crab apple was was pretty good too but we couldn't keep woodpeckers from destroying it.  Ive seen ads for grafted fruit trees with a couple of different fruits on the same tree.

If everyone in your neighbourhood grew one edible bearing tree or herb of some sort you wouldn't ever need to shop again.

I had two peach trees but one died shortly after I moved in and the other is just old and soon to follow it's brother. No peaches this last season but the prior season was grand. I still have some in the deep freeze for pies and desserts.
Other than that we have a plum tree, but they are the small and kind of sour ones. Meh

I wish I could have an avocado tree. That would be kick ass.

I like cherries, but man you can't eat to many of them and big trees can make a hell of a mess. I still want one.

cool to read that others here are in the mode of self-sustaining lifestyles.

anunnakian - if you buy an avocado tree that is semi-mature and transplant it in your soil, you might be able to get a fruit yield within 3-4 years. totally worth it.

When I was a kid we had a sour apple tree and 3 cherry trees in our yard.  My little brother and I used to pick up the dead apples from the ground (there'd be hundreds) and lob them at each other.  :lol:  Good times. 

I miss having fruit growing right in my backyard.

how long does it take for them to start producing? and can you grow them on the east coast?

I bought a house last summer that came with 1 cherry, 1 apple, 1 pear, 2 crab apples, and a plum tree.  The pear and crab apples are pretty young, and I only got a few pears last year, but the apple and cherry trees are mature and produce very well!  It also came with a ton of raspberry bushes.  I was eating handfuls of raspberries daily last summer and didn't even harvest them all!  I plan on adding some grapes, blueberries, and kiwis soon.  My sister works for the University of MN and has access to all kinds of experimental cold-hearty varieties, so I'm pretty excited.

I wish I could grow avocados too, but I am too far north here in zone 4...

The fire has many things to teach.
But so does the human experience.. which is like fire, sometimes you just need to stoke the coals and sometimes you just need to add a log or reposition the log matrix. But a well built fire will be much more self-sustaining than a poorly built one, and they all need love to grow. And don't fuck around or your might burn yourself. Must always respect the fire. - Shroomism

We have three unkept apple trees, so they are pretty much crab apples but they make for a good homemade applesauce, extra chunky :crazy2:

We also have a wild mulberry bush which is awesome during the summer. Not sure which strain it is exactly but my grandma makes a bangin mulberry pie. Last summer it didn't produce as much as years before so I'm hoping this season will be a good one.

I really want to plant a pear tree since I love pears and they require very little work. Plums also sound nice too...

My grandma and grandpa had an avocado tree in their backyard in Coronado, but unfortunately they both died long before I ever grew to like avocados.

When I was young, we had 2 mulberry trees, one white and one red - and a few macadamia nut trees. That kept us occupied in summer :P
