Oddest Asian shopping find of the day (did NOT buy): "Fruit -

Sounds good, actually. Why not use fruit in the drying process
instead of all
salt and savory?

I was gonna say, are there many three - story tall fruit trees...???
What's the tallest, say, an apple or cherry tree or whatever can
grow...???

Older trees were not dwarfs grafted onto regular rootstocks, they were
just regular trees. The one in my parents' backyard was not quite as
tall as the house, a 2-story.

Nowadays (probably for the last 40 or more years) they use dwarf
trees, and keep them pruned so that they can be harvested while
standing on the ground (the picker, as well as the tree).
