Hey Cdg4dq welcome to the forum!

While I appreciate RodneyS willingness to jump in, you might find some more help if you give us some more info ore specify your question a bit more

for example

Pretty much any fruit except citrus, apples, stone fruit, pears, and avocados (feel free to help me out here people) is going to grow relatively true to seed- some people will even say citrus and avos can be pretty true to seed

and even for grafted varieties they are all grafted onto seedling rootstocks so I guess everything grows well from seed depending on if you want to graft to it or not.

Any resources or threads on which plants reach fruiting maturity quickly too? Thanks in advance!

Individual species would be too many to get into, but check out some of the following Genus- Carica spp., Eugenia spp., Inga spp., Musa spp., Myrciaria spp., Physalis spp., and Plinia spp.

Hybrid fruits need  grafting

[Cdg4dq]

Hi there! Thanks so much for the tips and recs. This is super helpful info. Very helpful info on which plants come relatively true. To get more specific, I’m wondering what plants would fruit within, say, 1-3 years of starting from seed (and bonus points if they do well in containers. I’m looking to cost-effectively grow my backyard orchard and looking to learn more about what species will pay dividends (relatively) quickly.

I am guessing from your local in NC you are not going to be growing tropical fruit in your backyard orchard.
