**********************************
Many cities,counties,states in USA are having names related to fruits.
I recollect one place Tiruchirapalli in Tamil nadu where we have lived for six years from 1988 famous for sugarcane,paddy, banana fruits, mangoes,etc .It was pleasure for children to climb trees and pluck mangoes,gua fruits and eat after sharing with others. I remember my elder sister Lakshmi who visited us at Tiruchirapalli once asking in our language Tamil Malayalam ..''Raghavaa ..oru perakkai.. porichu tharaya..meaning Oh Raghava will you pluck and get me one gua fruit ??? Incidentally I recollect her staying at Mayavaram Lodge , Tiruchirapalli and getting me Adai Aviyal,etc there My eldest sister Parvathi who visited us once during Mahamaham festival of Kumbakonam on 18 th February,1992 also tasted the mangoes and accompanied us to Kumbakonam for seeing the festival and Jayalalithaa on her birthday.. Magam star.
Mango pickles like Avakkai,etc were made,distributed to relatives and stored in ceramic jars for whole year and ripe fruits eaten .. Ofcourse my spouse took care of selling surplus fruits,coconuts and drumsticks at very good rates and saving money from the proceeds . In addition there were many coconut trees in the house at Thillainagar, Tiruchirapalli ..with tender coconuts,the sweet water and the coconuts from a number of trees providing us cool water, coconuts for making daily dishes like sambar,koottu,chutney,etc.
Here in Fremont CA at our son's house, we have the following trees,plants, grapevines growing fruits.

Bagavad Gita says...
patram pushpam phalam toyam yo me bhaktyaa prayacchati |
tadaham bhaktyupahritamashnaami prayataatmanaha || 26 ||
One who presents a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water with devotion to me, I will consume that loving gift from that pure hearted being.
Tomato large size and small suze ...... ..
..Cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes ..as called are grown throughout the year in large quantities ..
It is in daughter's new house at San Jose..near Cupertino,CA we have trees of orange, lemon and naarthangai grown in large quantities throughout the year and thus granddaughter calls is Orange Tree house .
It is tasty and medically healthy to eat some of these fruits..
