Mah nigga. This guy knows what's up.

Otherwise, I'd probably have to say raspberries. That's if it's the Ideal Raspberry, though.

Berries. Of most varieties. I think blackberry rates highest during the season. Very succulent fruits, they make excellent pie filling as well.

Passion fruit is best fruit. Cherries are pig disgusting.

>>4627261
Oh, and apples are only good for making cider.
Deal with it applefags.

Raspberries are by far my favourite. I grew up in Poland and my grandma had a huge row of raspberries at the end of her garden. She had a shit-ton of other food growing there as well but the raspberries were by far the best. I can't get them that good in stores here, have to grow my own but too lazy to start a garden.

I do have a whole box of them in the fridge now but they're kinda sourish, not the best.

So many wrong opinions in so few words.

yeah , you and me. I like cherries , or cerisse. red or black, or white heart, hey,iI did not come up with the name. but hard to start . you would think it is easy, but no. and sour red cherry juice relives gout. and if you think it is cheap, go try to by some. I don't know there was a fungus that kinda killed many cherry trees. you plant for the next generation, and hope. even if you will never see it. watermelon, and strawberries and black berries. and blue berries. old apple and pear trees, pears. nobody likes them much, tough grainy but hard to kill.. and not so bad.

Lychees, god-tier fruit right there.

A word of advice, if you're going to plant fruits/berries, I would recommend to get the best tasting cultivars. I got some raspberry plants several years ago and did all the work of planting them, pruning them, etc. and they really don't taste like much. Part of it is I think they probably don't get enough sun but I think part of it could also be that the flavor was listed as being 'moderate' (different plants have different characteristics, with some being vigorous producers, etc, and flavor is listed as being mild, moderate, full, etc). All that work to have piles of delicious raspberries and they don't even taste like watered down juice, they taste like water with a spritz of juice splashed in!

Kiwi

I gotta go with bananas.

and Watermelon, damn shayum they're expensive as fuck around here

I love summer fruits. Right now we're getting massive picotas (a type of cherry) and all types of peaches, saturn peaches, nectarines, red and yellow peaches. Also melon and water melon are great. Afet the 2nd week of August we start getting grapes.

dude, I'm so sorry. I know how much love and care gardening is and that's just bullshit. Stupid berries.

My family has an heirloom black raspberry bush that is now with 3 different people, and I intend on taking a cutting wherever I end up and planting it. Best raspberries in the world. (this strain is from up in PA if you're near there and want to try again- the Amish bros have great plants)

>>4627320
This guy knows his shit.

>>4627323
thanks.

>>4627462

Ha, that's why I planted them in the first place- I stayed on a farm and picked blueberries for a summer and they had the most ridiculous black raspberries that I was like 'shit, I gotta plant me some berries!' Thanks for the offer.

PS- Take several cuttings if you can. The first year I planted 9 plants and only 3 survived. Those 3 turned into a dozen or so and that dozen turned into several dozen which are now nice and established but I'm still waiting for my whole plot to fill in.

>>4627466

Lychee ice cream is some damn good stuff.

>>4627218
I don't think there's a fruit that I don't like, but to pick just one I'll go with blueberries. I'll just keep putting them in my mouth one after another until the bowl is gone.

toss-up between mango, watermelon and peach

YUM YUM EAT EM UP

Delicious prickly pears.

Would pick the sometimes when I was younger.
Always felt like my hands were full of fiberglass after.

You lucky lucky Anon!
What country you in?

NOTHING beats a nice, juicy peach. mango is close second.
dripping wet pussy fruit ftw

>>4627836
Malaysia. I think most Southeast Asian countries have them too. Oh and pic related, it's a durian, another annual fruit that's the hot shit everytime they come to season.

>>4627839
>tfw missing out on durian season and local food festival this year
maybe if I ask my mum she'll send me durian kueh

>>4627844
Durian kueh? Never heard of that. Also haven't gotten to tasting the popular durian crepe.

>>4627846
It's durian pulp cooked over low heat with sugar and sometimes tapioca flour is used as a filler. I could eat it all day long.

I had durian crepe last year, it was nice because the crepe was warm while the durian was cold from the fridge.

>>4627851
Oh that looks like pumpkin kuih bingka to me.

Tayberries

Honourable mentions to rhubarb, gooseberries and redcurrants.

>>4627839
It tasted like farts when I had it at a party. It's flavor combined with it's slimy consistency made it one of the hardest things to eat. Why is that?

>>4627873
acquired taste, like grapefruit on nightmare mode

>>4627873
I don't know. Most people who didn't grow up eating it, like western tourists, won't appreciate it. But if you're a local, that thing is gold in trees. Makes a lot of money if you plant them in masses, you can sell them expensive and it will still sell. I've also known locals who don't like it.

>slimy consistency
Not all of them have the same consistency. Some are taut and firm and dry, like lychees. Depends on the type and age.

Pineapple, citrus, bananas, mango, passion fruit, guava...I like tropical fruits.

too bad it's so fucking expensive in ohio

>>4627883
Oh man. I love this one too.

>>4627881
Yeah. For all the heat and humidity, there are things to be grateful for when living in the tropics.

>>4627883
I don't know why people like durians when these are vastly superior and doesn't smell like shit.

>>4627896
I bet are a stinky fellow compared to many people but I hope some people like you.

>>4627896
there is literally no need to be rude about someone else's favorite fruit

>>4627896
I wonder the same thing about your mom.

>>4627903
A person can smell better by not eating durians.

>>4627906
They literally stink up the place wherever they are found.

flat peaches

Can't believe no one has mentioned plain old pears yet. Love me some hard fruit

Aznpear, Bosc Pear, Starfruit/Carambola, Fuji apples, any kind of freestone fruit...

Oh, and lychees and rambutan.
