"Oooo this is a nice fruit, I should save the seeds in case we need to regrow the trees."

@vlrny Air layering usually has better results, so first climb the fence with some plastic wrap, dirt, and rooting hormone.

Actually, that does not work usually (hybrids, gmo, etc..) You might get either nothing, or a plant with fruits smaller and not as tasty...
