Key to Fruits:
Can be grown in Tetrapoli - TealImported from another region - OrangeUnknown - white
*as I find more quotes I will add to the list so that the Orchard is grown realistically by region and known import list.
Apricots - No specific 'Gorean' description offered.
Sellers...would lead me to believe that they could have been exported and imported. -more research needed on the growing of apricots-
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.

Cherries-Tyros
It reminds me of the cherries of Tyros,� I said.
{Beasts of Gor - 349}
Chokecherries - Mentioned in Blood Brothers of Gor as one of the fruit used in the making of pemmican.
Crushed fruit, usually chokecherries, is then added to the meat. The whole, then, is mixed with, and fixed by, kailiauk fat, subsequently, usually, being divided into small, flattish, rounded cakes. The fruit sugars make this, in its way, a quick energy food, while the meat, of course, supplies valuable, long lasting stamina protein.
---Blood Brothers of Gor, 4:46
Dates-Tahari
The principal export of the oasis are dates, or pressed-date bricks. Some of the date palms grow to more than a hundred feet high. It takes ten years before they begin to bear fruit. They will then yield fruit for more than a century. A given tree, annually, yields between one and five Gorean weights of fruit. A weight is some ten stone, or some forty Earth pounds.
{Tribesmen of Gor - 37}
Grapes-Island of Cos (could be grown in Tet)
The meal was completed by a handful of grapes and a draught of water from the wall tap. The grapes were purple and, I suppose, Ta grapes from the lower vinyards of the terraced island of Cos some for hundred pasangs from Port Kar. I had tasted some only once before, having been introduced to them at a feast given in my honor by Lara, who was Tatrix of the city of Tharna. If they were indeed Ta grapes I supposed they must have come by galley from Cos to Port Kar, and from Port Kar to the Fair of En�Kara.
{Priest-Kings of Gor - 45}
Ka-la-na FruitFrom the yellow kalana tree, it is used to make wine and garnishes for drinks.
I picked some Ka-la-na fruit and opened one of the packages of rations. Talena returned and sat beside me on the grass. I shared the food with her.
---Tarnsman of Gor, 8:
Larma -not resiliant to growing in cold weather. Noted that they were unable to grow them in the northern parts of gor.
unknown
The topsits, in the Forkbeard�s orchard, which can grow at this latitude, as the larma cannot, were too green to eat. I smiled, recalling that topsits almost invariably have an odd number of seeds, saving the rarer, long-stemmed variety. I do not care too much for topsits, as they are quite bitter. Some men like them. They are commonly used, sliced and sweetened with honey, and in syrups, and to flavor, with their juices, a variety of dishes. They are also excellent in the prevention of nutritional deficiencies at sea, in long voyages, containing, I expect, a great deal of vitamin C. They are sometimes called the seaman�s larma. They are a fairly hard fleshed fruit, and are not difficult to dry and store.
{Marauders of Gor - 102}
Melons -There is mention of 'different varieties' although the only description given is the following. Melons are mentioned among the fruit which grow in the Schendi area, though there is no indication that they are not part of other area gardens, we also see them sold in a market in Tor.
Buy melons! called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped spheres toward me.
---Tribesmen of Gor, p 45
Olives -(are these fruits?)
Groves of Tyros
Tor
...brought the food, bosk steak and yellow bread, peas and Torian olives...
{Assassin of Gor - 168}
...a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros.
{Raiders of Gor - 114}
Peach - No specific 'Gorean' description offered but for the fact that the 'Gorean' peach is yellow.
Another device, common in Port Kar, is for the girl to kneel before the master and put her head down and lift her arms, offering him fruit, usually a larma or a yellow Gorean peach, ripe and fresh.
----Tribesmen of Gor, pp 27-28
Pear - unknown
Pit Fruit (Hard Larma)- Norman offers descriptions that indicate there are two varieties of this fruit, one simply called here, the 'hard' larma or 'pit fruit', the other refered to as the 'juicy' larma.
I took a slice of hard larma from the tray. This is a firm, single-seeded applelike fruit. It is quite unlike the segmented, juicy larma. It is sometimes called, perhaps more aptly, the pit fruit, because of its large single stone.
---Players of Gor, p 267
Plum - No specific 'Gorean' description offered.
I was jostled to one side by two men in djellabas. My ankle stung. I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums.
---Tribesmen of Gor, 2:45
Pomegranite-Tahari
Pomegranate orchards lie at the east of the oasis,� I said.
{Tribesmen of Gor - 175}
Pumpkin- Mentioned as grown at least in the Barrens area. No specific 'Gorean' description offered.
Many of the tribes permit small agricultural communities to exist within their domains, she said. The individuals in these communities are bound to the soil and owned collectively by the tribes within whose lands they are permitted to live. They grow produce for their masters such as wagmeza and wagmu, maize or corn, and such things as pumpkins and squash.
Savages of Gor, p 233
Raisin-made from grapes.
Ram-berryNorthern forests - could grow in Tet.
A guard was with us, and we were charged with filling our leather buckets with ram-berries, a small reddish fruit with edible seeds, not unlike plums save for the many small seeds.
{Captive of Gor - 305}
Tospit - could grow in Tet.
grows on a bush
Western Cartius
Also noted to have been grown in Skjern..because they were resiliant to cold weather.
On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peach like fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches of which are indigenous to the drier valleys of the western Cartius. They are bitter but edible.
