Not necessarily your favourite fruit to eat, but what is/are your favourite fruit tree(s) to grow based on survival rate, fruit yield, ease of maintenance, ease of harvest, grass-killing prowess, and any other combination of factors? What is/are your least favourite? If you have photos or diagrams to illustrate your point, even better!

(If you provide your region and/or Köppen-Geiger or Trewartha climate zone, it will help others to know what to plant or what to avoid!)

It is an Opal Plum.

BTW, my first search results agree with my palette ^‿^

Some call plum ‘Opal’ the most delectable of all fruit. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/plum/caring-for-opal-plum-trees.htm

Picked straight from the tree it's probably the best tasting of all the plums. https://gardenfocused.co.uk/fruitarticles/plums/variety-opal.php

PS: If you really want to be technical, it is the pathogen that is transmissible. Infection is what happens when the pathogen "invades" the tissues and/or afterward (different uses). Some dictionaries (e.g., Merriam-Webster) literally put the word disease in the definition of infection. But yes, the pathogen is being transmitted, not the disease, as in the spread of HIV, not the spread of AIDS.

I've noted that plum down to recommend to folks in colder places!

Pathogen does make more sense in this context. My command of the language is not perfect either.
