Now people expect to be able to buy any fruit at any time of the year, so many fruits travel much further than in the past to effect this.

Which raises an interesting question re: the energy footprint of transporting fresh fruits vs. freezing local fruits. I see no inherent reason why frozen produce has to be transported long distances. As I write this, I am preparing dinner using the last of the ginkgo nuts that I gathered and froze months ago.
