Pawpaws are the longest to start fruiting from everything I’ve grown. I’ve had my 4 pawpaws grown from seed many years and they still haven’t made a fruit. I’m in a bad location for them though. Texas, hot and dry and sand. Without supplemental watering they’d never survive here. I had 7 and 3 have died. I’ve always wanted to taste one. Mine are grown from seeds from Jerry Leimans cultivars so they should be good.

Figs and Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry produce very rapidly. I`ve planted 7 fig trees and 4 mulberry in two years. They grow ridiculously fast in Louisiana. I planted peach seeds but nothing happened. Probably imported and irradiated. You can force fruiting on dwarf mulberry by cutting branches back by half and stripping the leaves off a few to trick the tree.

Asian pears produce the second season in the ground in my experience. (5/6 ft tall whips)No spray,no pests,except deer browse late winter.

I have the worst luck with peaches. Every year, it's like a war to get fruit. Peach leaf curl, early frosts that decimate my blossoms, deer, etc. 3 years... 2 trees... 30 peaches. I'll work with them for another couple years and then I'm chopping them down and just buying my peaches from the local orchard.

@@sociopathmercenary I can relate here in MD, 7B and I must admit I'm a beginner so I could be at fault. 2 years from 1 young peach tree with a yield 1-3 peaches (most were eaten or dropped off, peach leaf curl ruined it in the 1st year so I used fungicide from now on) . I will replace it with fig trees if they continue to fail me. I believe in the Master Gardner organization they say peaches are actually one of the fruit trees they recommend people to avoid because they require a lot of care and maintenance.

You can have the fruits forest (food forest), but you're not gonna solve your diet problem, so you need to grow and raise what you can for meat, eggs, fruits, vegs and berries.

I’m not a prepper or homesteader. I simply grow fruiting plants in a food forest style.
