I live on the Texas Gulf. A little inland. Historically a Pine Forest, Bayou jungle, Salt and Sedge lowlands.
My soil is a several layers of acidic (5.5pH in some extreme cases) alluvial clays. Gumbo in some places.
Its truly a wild mixture of extreme Humidity one day, Dry the next. Wet the following day. But always hot.
In general our winters can dip into the thirties, they mostly stay in 40's and 50's.. but following our random template, every decade or so we get hard freezes for a night.
Ive been on the hunt for Rare.. Odd.. Seldom Seen.. Far Flung.. Tropical and Sub-Tropical and Temperate Seed.
What are your Successes for this area.. (or those similar)
I have potted and seedling Loquat, and Mango.. Tree-bean, and Mitragyna. Betel Palm, Miracleberry, Kumquat.
But im interested in finding viable Annonia, Moringa, Guave and Eugenia, Sapotes and Sapodillas, Jujubes, Blackberry Jam tree, Starfruit, Jackfruit, Durian fruit, Banana!, Tamarillo! Papaya
Cassabanana, Caffees, Kiwis.. etc etc
Whatever would grow well here. What have you grown successfully and what were your methods?
