So from growing pretty much nothing...we now have apricots, peaches, nectarines, pluerries, pears, asian pears, plums, pluots, apples, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, mandarins, and figs. And pomegranates.

I've had zero luck with kiwis and avocadoes and currents.

Bananas went crazy and I pulled them out.
