If you could only have one fruit tree...

[loligo]

... (or two, if your Chosen One needs a pollinator), what would it be, and why?

We have room for a few fruit trees, and I'm having a terrible time narrowing down my choices -- I want them ALL. So maybe your opinions will help me prioritize my list!

I already know I want to plant Nikita's Gift persimmon (an American X Asian hybrid). Our woods are full of wild pawpaws, and we live in a peach-growing region so I can get all the tree-ripened peaches I want for cheap at the Farmer's Market. So those three fruits are taken care of. But what else???

ooooh - black cherries!

No doubt about it, if there were plenty of peaches around in the local markets, I'd next go for a black cherry. Or two! :-) I *love* cherries! And if you have a big crop, they freeze really well.
