Well atuunno,if I have to plant a fruit sibling to be with me throughout my life I will opt for a coconut tree.The reason for my choice is that it is of multipurpose though it take some 10 years to give yield.The outcome from the tree are a juice, tender coconut is used in cooking i.e. the fleshy part. Also the cover of the coconut is used to burn while cooking.Also I can lay down under its shadow.Moreover he will be a friend of mine for the entire life.Even if I die he won't. A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED. Thanks for posting Happy mylotting

Well I will plant an apple tree, haha. Apple has been my favorite fruit since I was a little girl. For a long time I just ate an apple as my breakfast and then I got really busy and hungry and I feel only apple is not enough. I still keep the habit of eating at least one apple a day. I also like to bring apples with me when travel, in the bus, train or plane. For me, it's a replacement for water during journey. I guess I should have named myself apple if this name was taken first my one of my classmates, ooops. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

That's a hard question! What about vines like watermelon vines or grapevines? I love coconut water, and coconut oil...everything coconut except coconut candy so maybe coconut. The description of mangosteen sounds so delicious I would risk that without evem tasting it. Persimmons and pomegranates are scrumptious, but I think I would get sick of them, they're so good (I know that doesn't make sense, hahaha). Well maybe mango or peach, then I would flip a coin to decide which I want to live on. I know that blueberries and raspberries (both so amazing) don't grow on trees, so I eliminate them. Cherries...how could I forget? I love all of these, but I tink I will go with coconut, since the water has such a lovely flavor, and I like refreshing drinks, plus I could snack on the coconut meat and make coconut oil, so I would have a bit of variety.....I love clementines and figs too, so much! To be able to eat as many figs as you want and not worry about their effect on the body would be wonderful....

I'd plant an Orange tree. I love oranges. I buy a big box of them every winter, store them out on the porch so they keep longer and eat probably 3 or 4 a day till the box is gone.

I think I would pick a nashi fruit, so sweet and juicy and being a cross between an apple and a pear it would have to be good for you, i love them...

If thats an only option then I would plant an avocado tree (as we know avocado is a fruit) because it's similar to vegetable and would give me vitamins I cannot get from fruits. Next fruits tree would be an apple tree, apples are great by themselves, with any kind of desserts and even with meat dishes. The last one I would plant a cherry tree because they are my favorite fruits.

I would plant an orange tree not only do I love the fruit but you could make orange juice to. Everytime I get sick if I drink alot of orange juice I get better quicker. Im very glad I dont have to really just choose one because I love all fruit. If I could have several trees that grow things I would also want a lemon tree. I love fresh homemade lemonade its also really good for a cold and one of my faviorte things to drink.
