I ordered a cling-free Peach, Kieffer Pear, Texas Everbearing Fig, 3 Paw Paw trees, and 5 red raspberry bushes. They all shipped dry-root and are soaking in a bucket of water as we 'speak'. We'll be planting them out at our BOL cabin property come Monday or Tuesday. Theiy're grafted trees, so they should start producing in 3-5 years (own root take about 10 I understand). I'm old, so I might not live that long LOL. No room to plant any more trees here in the city.
We have wild blackberries and American Beautiberry bushes growing wild in numerous clusters on the place (they self seed with new saplings readily by bird action, who love the berries).
I have a small Texas Torchwood that's just 10" tall (clearly slow growers). It produces sweet edible grape-like fruit at maturity. It's a native Texas tree so it should do well for my in summers and is freeze hardy as well. I've been wanting one and finally found (the last) one at the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas near the border. They sell a few natives trees and plants from their nursery. Good prices on southern natives. It's a fairly small outfit, but they called me back promptly because they were out watering plants when I first called. I found them very nice to do business with. Fast shipping, too, if anyone needs any trees.
