i live in a tropical country and we have no apples and oranges here, but we had a mango tree and guava tree in our backyard when i was a kid. during summer, when the fruits are plenty, my cousins and i would climb the tree, find a branch to nest on and bite into the just-plucked, unwashed fruits. :D

Yes i've many fruit trees in my garden. I've plucked mangoes,papayas etc. I think the most insane fruit i have plucked is a coconut. I've a dwarf coconut tree near my house and i've plucked cocunuts from it

Yes, I have experienced pluck a fruit from a tree.It happened three years ago when i went to my friend house.Her parent has an orchard fruit.She ask me to join her to pluck a fruit from his parent's orchard.It was very amazing because i got the chance to see many fruits and pluck the fruits by myself.Then,we eat the fruits together after finish plucking it.I love eat fruits.I will never forget my beautiful memory at the orchard.Thank you.

I have an apricot tree in my yard. The best time to pick one is when the sun is high, the fruit is warm and it smells like heaven. I just clean it with my habnd and eayt it as I do not use pesticides.
My friends have other trees where I get my share too, but my apricot is my favoriute. I also use it for jams I give out for Christmas.

Usually it is guava, star apple, cashew and avocado that i tried too. Freshly from the tree it is good.

Oh no, I never, I would like to do that to try real fresh food that just picked down from the tree! I'm having a peach, resberry tree in my yard, hopefully, the peach tree will grow to have fruits so I can try! :-)

Yeah I always go apple picking in the fall at the orchard near my house. I get stayman winesap apples and they're so much better than grocery store apples.

Yes, I have. At my mother’s place there fruit trees of different kind…she has one mango tree, one jackfruit tree, one sweet lime tree, a few banana trees and two coconut trees. The coconut tree is difficult to climb…we have to hire professional help to do it but the other trees are quite big and reach upto the terrace and when the fruits are ripe, we go up to the terrace and pluck them. Not all trees are at arm’s length…but the mango tree just hangs over the terrace and its lovely to just feel the branches when the tree is laden with fruits.

Well; I once did so in my childhood . However, that fruit was not at too much of a height .

I have some trees in the garden, and usually the most available fruit is banana. It is so easy as a fruit, no need to water it and yet when the time comes you get the fruit. Then there is mangoes, pawpaws and guaves which I pluck directly from the tree to eat. It is more tasty and unique.
