I got my Sweetheart from the Galveston County Fruit Tree Sale. Urban harvest sells out to quick and I didn't get in line at 5:00 am like the year before. That's to way to do it man!!! You can get every thing you want if your one of the first 10 in line. What other fruits are you growing and what part of Houston are you in?
I attended a presentation on Avocados at the Galveston County Agrilife Extension, just a week or so before the sale. They have some lovely fruit trees growing out there. Haha, yeah you have to get to the Urban harvest sale early, and all the sales always end up to be on the coldest mornings...
You freeze your behind off just standing in line!!
I'm in the SW portion of Fort bend county. I did catch the bug really bad when I first started collecting. All I could think of was "one of everything please!!" But I'm doing a lot better now, well, hehe a little better!! I did a lot of gifting and now I am only growing plants that really make me happy. My more temperate fruit trees which include stone fruit trees, like peaches, plums, nectarines; I also grow citrus, pears, persimmons, olives, figs, pomegranates, bananas, mulberries and blueberries. Some of my tropical fruit trees include mangoes, longan, annonas, avocados, sapodillas, some eugenias, Jaboticabas, and many seedlings which I am still experimenting with. I also grow a few veggies and herbs, and some tropical spice trees.
