My fruit

1.First ,two apples, drag a Sphere into any viewport you like.Modify the size,right click the sphere to convert to Editable poly,click vertex and then select several points and move it to make the sphere like a real apple.By the same way to make the top and the bottom.
click cone to make a stalk,modify,bend it to make a nice shape.
put the stalk onto the top of apple,modify it,then make them as a group called apple1.then clone as many as you like.

add a grape,that is a easy one,drag a sphere ,use Select and Uniform scale to make a Oval.clone several one,I don't know how to clone all of them once,just repeat many times,make a stalk like apple's.




2.Second,make a banana,it is a little hard for me,and I make a new file so I won't confuse.At first,drag a box ,select the polygon in editable poly,extrude and bevel it,and move the polygon on both side,built the shape of banana,at the last ,soft it with meshsmooth modifier.
But I found there was a small placket on one of top of the sides,like a flower.Idid not get the reason why.




It is quite strange that I can not see the leaf of the apples,but I have made them,just disappeared.




3 the last step,to merge banana into the fruit plate ,but when I did that I found the banana was too small to see.I think it will be a good idea to choice a correct size for it.

You have done well with this exercise - your apples though are rather too round, did you use soft selection? This would give a more random shape, as not all apples are the same shape. Your banana was a good attempt, and you have also learnt that you do have to make sure that you configure your measurements correctly with each new file, in order for the files to merge properly.
