This state is so "golden" that it is the largest producer of seven different fruits: grapes, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, kiwifruit, prunes, and plums, according to the USDA. The state is also a significant producer of apples, pears, and cherries and is behind only Florida in terms of citrus production. Yes, we're talking about California, a state that the USDA says accounts for a whopping half of the country's entire fruit acreage.
According to Realonomics, one of the main factors that contributes to California's agricultural success is its year-round warmth, which allows for multiple growing seasons. With winters mild and (typically) wet and summers hot and dry, California provides the perfect climate for a number of crops. In other regions of the U.S., like the northeast, farmers and gardeners don't plant seeds in the ground after their fall harvest because the climate is too cold. But in California, farmers and gardeners can plant pomegranates, pears, pumpkins, persimmons, cranberries, grapes, and so much more during the fall and beyond (via SoCal Mulch).
With its fertile soil, consistent climate, and sheer size, California is far and away the biggest producer of fruits in the U.S.
