That is my second best rationalization to live in California, the produce.

If you have never had a Meyer lemon that got to stay on tree until it was really ripe, or a peach where the skin tore a bit when you picked it, because that diaphanous velvet is barely able to contain the juice. Peaches are very fragile when they are ripe, very easy to bruise. No way is it easy for something like that to travel, hence there are a couple peach trees out back and a half dozen citrus trees around the yard. The Clementines are ridiculous. I wonder how pineapple would do. Too cold for a avocado, not cold enough for blueberries

As a lad, we had this plum tree that got this black fruit, flesh was red close to the stone then a bit darker than a crayola flesh crayon closer to the skin. Ridiculously juicy and sweet, but careful! Never forget, this is what they make prunes out of, and prunes are God's own colon blow. Delicious, but extremely messy. Verboten to eat inside. Eating with long sleeves ill advised, ideally consumed shirtless, wearing swimming trunks.

I don't even like plums, ones off that tree, Santa Rosa I think, are the only ones I found tasty at all. I think it was that they were at peak ripeness when I ate them
