>he's never had an italian lime
You're describing Italian limes. The peel/skin has a quality similar to that of kumquat/fortunella in that it's edible and not exceedingly bitter due to low quantity of pith. Some people avoid it nonetheless because the fruit is used almost exclusively for its juice. When the skin is utilised, it is most commonly candied or made into preserves.

For all citrus to have kumquat like skins with no pith.

Nespole viable outside of the Mediterranean and South/Southeast Asia. Also miracle fruit.

Snozzberries.

Tomato, pepper and eggplant/aubergine plants that those gigantic green caterpillars don't want to fucking eat, the assholes.

Pitcher plants that are more attractive to agricultural pests than the other plants in my garden are so that when a squirrel or something tries to eat it, the pitcher plant consumes it whole, instead. Fuck you, squirrels. Don't eat my baby corn.

A very large apple-like vegetable, they would grow in clusters on squash-like vines. Where each vine meets the fruit there would be a disc shaped growth with multiple domes of various colors.

Upon pressing in any of these domes a membrane would be ruptured and allow a fluid to circulate through the fruit, containing signals that instruct whatever structures happen to be relevant to either strip methyl groups from related genes and allow them to be expressed, or trigger their expression directly. I'm not sure how I would engineer it, ideally only one gene is "connected" to each dome. This would cause it to begin synthesis of whatever psychoactive compound was associated with the dome you pressed.

Included would be theobromine, theophylline, caffeine, various kavalactones, DMT, nicotine, methamphetamine (or just a ratio of d, l, and straight amphetamine, don't know), histamine liberators, anandamide, THC, l-dopa, psilocybin, l-theanine, probably would include some I've forgotten. Genes to code for special pods or pockets would need to be included as well to handle storage of ethanol, and possibly shield LSD from UV and warm temperatures. The latter most is a hard challenge, synthesizing ergotamine is possible, the rest is quite difficult.

The engineering challenge is nutrient availability, transport, and obviously the actual synthesis. The signalling is easier. Engineering to have it able to mix any combination of the above would be difficult as well.

Its final appearance would depend on the dome pressed, and could be drastically different. If no dome is pressed, it remains non-psychoactive and richly concentrates nutrients. The fruit needs to be able to signal the root system itself, and crude transistors made from selenium and bioluminescence is not out of the question.
