What are your favorite fruits to grow?

When I was growing up in the 80s, our place was covered with apple trees that were planted by my papaw and his father many moons ago. They were mainly a small golden delicious and what my parents called June apple. I can still remember the smell like it was yesterday walking home from school of the June apple trees.
I've got several golden delicious and June trees now but they taste nothing like the old-time ones planted by my papaw.
If I could get old-time apple trees that taste like they did, I'd have them growing everywhere.

Maybe it is this:?

Yellow transparent apple trees

• Originated from Russia in 1870.
• Also known as White Transparent or Grand Sultan.
• Produces medium to large apples with a transparent pale yellow skin.
• Early-ripening, crisp, light, and sweet.
• Very winter-hardy.
• A mutation called Perrine Yellow Transparent was discovered in Centralia, Illinois, which is larger, has better flavor, and ripens even earlier than the original Yellow Transparent

Persimmon the japanese varieties. I have one I bought two years ago @3' tall. It gave me 7 persimmon last year, 14 this year and it's only 5' tall. I'm getting another this year, they're so deliciously sweet.
I also have apricots, nectarine, peach, fig, which is only 4' tall planted three years ago and gave me 35 figs this year, just a dozen last year.
I have a big thornless blackberry patch and strawberries in window boxes.

Oooo, I forgot Fuyu Persimmon! I’ve kept a couple at work to about 7’ and they produce a couple dozen fruits, about 4” diameter each, a year. Someone else gets to them first, so I haven’t had one for a few years.

How do you use them, @Meadowlark ? I had one once and it tasted nasty. Although it was shipped all the way here from Mexico and I've no idea if it was ripe or not.

I have Cumberland Black Raspberries same family as Blackberries. My small plot about 6 ft wide 12 ft long produces 15 gallons every year June 20 to about July 15. Berries are 1" diameter the size of a quarter. Plants love 100° hot dry desert sun. Give them fertilizer plants do not care ripe berries are the same, no larger, no smaller. Give them water or no water plants do not care. Last Dec. I planted cuttings and gave all the plants away.

I had to delete pictures Windows 11 says, photos take up too much space pay $$$$ to keep pictures, so I deleted about 1000 photos. I might had photos on a memory stick wait and see.
