    Yes. Historically British Isles had meh climate for fruit production. You could either forage for berries, but fruits were mostly seasonal apples or pears or plums, but the harvest seasons were rather short.

      And you did utilize the fruits you had, but there never was an abundance of them like for example in medieval Italy.
