We've had 3 frosts[in the bottom below my house] already. Every last damn apple fell off this week. The dogs and I had been enjoying them.
What about the deers?
Where I lived in WA I had a tree next to the trailer I lived in.
Fuggers would have climbed that tree if they could have.
This tree is 15' out our back door, hangs over the patio. With two Labs constantly guarding THEIR apples.
Good doggies.
Here, have another apple!

Mackinaw Peaches, of course. It's like having a circus in your mouth.
Sign me up for a tree!

Not really fruit related and sorry about being off-topic but we also have about 2-3 pounds of chanterelle mushrooms grow wild in the yard 2-3 times a year as well.

Grapes, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melons, oranges, apples
Dont keep fruit out of the fridge except bananas, they get ate up fast anyways. Fruit attracts bugs and starts to stink. Then you are throwing money away. Had to teach numbnuts Khanarella that a long time ago. Plus a chill on fruit keeps it firm a little longer.

Lucky dog! I have to work for my chanterelles. Love 'em.
OP Geno - I have a couple of plum trees in my yard, and when they decide to fruit - jeebus I can't keep up with them.
Lately I've been just washing them, freezing whole on a cookie sheet, then vacuum packing them after they are frozen hard.
They make great wintertime treats. Plumsicles. Just thaw for about an hour and then munch.
Did have a couple of pear trees, but they succumbed to some sort of rot at the base and fell over in a wind storm.
I'm in the process of purchasing a place in NE Oregon, and it has mature pear, apple, cherry, and plum trees, along with a couple variety of berries. That should keep me occupied in the fall.

Chanterelles down there? Interesting. Only place I've ever gathered them was in the redwoods near the coast.

Bout it.
Dude,
warm season/warm location fruit is best served at room temperature.
I hate ice cold oranges, grew up picking that citrus stuff off the trees. And if it's in the cooler, I just have to wait longer for it to warm up.
Apples, pears and such can go in the fridge.
Bout it.

They grow in a lot of the neighborhoods in town in Tallahassee. They grow insanely well in the burns they do on the long leaf pine forests in the national forests on a 2 year rotation. The wild pigs will often park on them and not want to give them up. The ones in the yard are on an old maple root system that's gone and a couple massive live oaks. They like the azaleas too.

On our coast, the formula is:
Old Growth Fir + Oregon Grape + Salal = Chantrelles
They really like that deep organic duff from the firs.
And we don't put no ketchup on 'em in these here parts.
The advisory board says so, liberals that they are. But they know their Ketchup:
