We don't have any but a neighbor does and we are lucky to be friends with them and they always give me a bushel or two, they also donate a lot of them to  a food bank which  is great.  Another  neighbor has three large pecan trees and she is not able to  rake the leaves and pick all of them up. So we go and  help do it, sometimes while she is gone we  really  go at it. When she comes  home me may have 5-8 bushel  of nuts picked up. Then she has them cracked and a lot of the shells  fall off, but I still have to go through them to get   a lot of the shell picked out as she can't see them.  She gives a lot of them and I store themin my freezer for ages while I use them up.  I am so grateful for great neighbors.

I do not have an apple tree.  We go to an apple orchard to pick apples every year.  I like to pick the apples for eating and usually by a bag or two of "seconds" (apples that have fallen) and use those to make apple butter.
This year we took our 2 year old grandson.

I've tried but either the birds or bugs or something always gets to the tree so they really don't bear good enough apple to eat.  I just gave up after a while and just buy my stuff at the market.

No but I'd like to have some fruit trees. I've planted some young ones but they tend to die off before they get to fruit bearing age and it's not cheap to keep trying.

I did when I was a kid. Nothing like an apple fresh picked from the tree.

We use to have a bunch of them but we got them all cut down now. As they get older they just don't produce very well and it is a lot of work picking up a million apples every year.
