I remember, when I was a kid in our neighborhood there seemed to be all kinds of fruit trees, such a peach, apricot and plum trees. We even had an avocado tree in our back yard. But I don't seem to see them much now. Of course I live in the backwoods. But I'm thinking of neighborhoods in cities. Before we moved I didn't see any. Do you have fruit trees in your neighborhood? As a kid they sure could be a Godsend.

Growing up, my parents and grandparents had yards full of fruit trees. We had navel orange, lemon, lime, coconut, mango and avocado trees growing in our yards. Not to mention numerous vegetables as well. I grew up in south Florida, and it was common for people to have citrus trees in their yards. I live in north Florida now, and don't see it as often, but I'm sure there are still a lot of people who grow their own fruits and vegetables.

@popciclecold When I was little, I use to shimmy up the coconut trees in my grandmother’s yard and knock the coconuts down. Then I would sit there on the sidewalk in front of her house and break open the coconuts. I would drink the milk (coconut water) first, and then carve off pieces of coconut from the inside of the shell. I would spend hours doing that, and never get sick of eating coconut.

We have a pear tree in our front yard. At our old house we had apple trees. Have a good day.

When I was growing up our neighbor had an apple tree and we would pick the apples and eat them. No fruit trees where I live now.

There are some old apple trees next to the main road near us. Every year the apples fall off and nobody seems to pick them up. I think this is because they are growing near a busy road and people are thinking about the fumes from the traffic getting into the apples while they are growing.
