Apple: versatile, long-keeping, adaptable.

apple ... besides the above if you select the right cultivar you can pick fruit off the tree for months and maybe store for weeks to months too.

Then there is apple sauce, preserves, wine, dried and cider (hard and soft).

Good smoking wood too.

It is not that I am crazy about apples--I like them a lot--but if I was forced to pick only one I'd want that fruit to last.

The butternuts are from seeds of a few that I bought at the store. They weren't huge, but they weren't small, either. I was hoping they would produce something close to what they came from. So far, they're all a bit smaller, but uniform in shape from plant to plant. I guess I'll have to see about getting a specific variety of seed from somewhere for next year.

Anna: The smaller one probably wasn't fully pollinated. It won't hurt to leave it at this point. But regardless of cause it is unlikely to become a good fruit. Hopefully you have more small fruit on the way. There is still time for more fruit. Last year I had watermelon from June till November.

Could be due to your pruning. Persimmons develop on new wood which sprouts from one-year old wood. So if you remove the 1-year old stuff, no fruit.

It is very easy. Just go to YouTube and type in cleft graft, bark graft, or whip and tongue and cut some non fruit tree branches for practice then do the real thing. All you need is a box cutter, a roll of black electrical tape, a roll of parafilm order from Amazon or you can substitute parafilm with Saran wrap cut in small strips to wrap it. There you go. Grafting will allow you to have many variety of fruits one one tree if you don't have room for a hundred fruit trees. I got a Red Fuji apple tree with 20 different varieties grafted on it. Well happy grafting. Tony

Mangos for me. Then stone fruit. I have had the fortune of tasting many on my trips to Mexico. Much different than store bought mangos. Flavor King would be my favorite stone fruit.
