Something I wonder a lot in my first year of motherhood: which fruits can a 6-month-old eat?

When moving a 6-month-old to solids, the general rule is: start with vegetables (potatoes, carrots, squash) before fruit, because babies can get used to sweet tastes and refuse vegetables.
Fruits you can start safely at 6 months: apple (finely grated or pureed and cooked), pear, banana when ripe, peach, apricot, and avocado (alone or mixed with fruit — very nutritious). Try each 3-4 days alone to watch for allergic reaction.
Strawberry, kiwi, citrus and other higher-acid or higher-allergy-risk fruits are usually waited until 8-9 months; if your family has strong food allergy history, ask your pediatrician.
Homemade fruit purees are best — check store-bought jars have no added sugar or preservatives. Ripe, fresh fruit is ideal.
