I don’t think any fruit is ready to be picked in this area, at this time of year. (Trees are first beginning to flower now.)

AYLOR, but as far as I know, harvesting fruit is real melacha and best avoided on chol hamoed.

AFAIK, You can pick apples (in the Fall) and use them for apple kugel, etc. for Yom Tov.

Again, ask locally. Nowadays, everyone writes on chol hamoed, for example. And you might say that picking fruit is unskilled labor so it's ok. But ask. Different communities, different approaches.

It’s an amazing, intricate process to get ripe fruit. First the fruit trees need to leaf out (produce leaves). Then they produce blossoms. The blossoms need to be pollinated. If all goes well, this leads to fertilization. Then a tiny fruit starts to grow and the petals wither. It takes a long time for the immature fruit to grow to its full size. Then it has to ripen. Then, and only then, is it time to pick the fruit. Right now the trees near you are probably either leafing out or starting to flower, so the summer or early fall is when their fruit will be ready to pick. Some quicker options are fruits that don’t grow on trees, like strawberries, which are usually ready in June where I live, or blueberries, which grow on bushes and are often ready in July (depending on weather conditions that year).

Fruit picking is allowed but you can't pick more than you're likely to use before yom tov ends.
But I don't think there's anything out there to pick yet.
