Beautiful peaches and pecans, Mark! Thank you for confirming that I know something about Texas. Down in the Rio Grande Valley that's another story--a wider variety of fruit can be grown. In addition to the famous citrus, avocados and even mangos, I believe.
Thanks! Rivers End has great fruit. I got avocados from Kathy. Need to put in an order for pitayas.
http://www.riversendnursery.com/They grow it all. Everything you find in San Diego or the Miami area, Kathy and her husband have it - durian, cherimoya, pitaya, etc. And most important of all, they have water, plenty of it. Oh, and it's hard to beat Harligen's 1015Y super sweet onions!
I think the Valley citrus is the best of the best. Maybe it's because I'm getting fresh citrus in our local grocery stores but I have rarely tasted Cali or NM citrus that comes close to the richness, juice, and sweetness of Valley citrus. Unfortunately much of the orchards are being bought up by developers.
