A question Where can you find Native seeds Miami Key West or Homestead?Or fruit that is not invasive (will get some from Fruit & spice park as well_)
I am flying out there tomorrow God willing
I plan to spend a short time in Miami
Take the train/ bus to homestead visit Fruit , and spice park
I have stayed at a cheap Hotel, and near it guerilla grow a (large) avocado
there was a open field with a small section being tree's already in the town homestead going to check it out
, and some Osage orange (hedge apple not related to orange) maybe even sapodilla but do not remember if I planted any.
I like your Idea of a Nice place to visit , and pick fruit as well that is why I want to as well
I plan on walking (or biking ) the Krome path back from fruit, & spice park to Homestead hotel again
there is a part of woods over there to it is dense though , but plan to plant a few things as well.
I'd rather be cheap , but any of those Nurseries on Krome Ave any good which one there is so many?
Sorry do not want to highjack your topic but it is the same what would be a good source I am asking.

see here any of these Oaks sound good (I searched Oak but you could search quercus
https://www.fnps.org/what about Native persimmon (variation D virginiana var. moserii)
Also I hear normal northern persimmons have chromosomes
2n=90 Kentucky 2n = 60 , and key west 2n = 30
So might be hard finding the one 2n=30 (or maybe it's easy )

Andrews Wildlife Management Area
Andrews is unique as one of Florida’s largest remaining unaltered contiguous hardwood hammocks. Its 3000 acres include xeric and mesic vegetative communities in close proximity: upland hardwoods, mixed hardwoods/pine, and floodplain.
The upland hardwoods have a canopy and subcanopy of laurel oak, live oak, bluff oak, scrub live oak, pignut hickory, southern magnolia, sweet gum, persimmon, American holly, sparkleberry, and wild olive. The understory includes needle palm, coontie, American beautyberry, and saw palmetto.
In the mixed hardwoods/pine areas the canopy and subcanopy include Florida elm, ironwood, cabbage palm, fringe-tree, sweetgum, longleaf pine, live oak, scrub live oak, turkey oak, blue-jack oak. Ground cover is dominated by saw palmetto
An 800-acre hydric community lying adjacent to the mesic forest and bordering the Suwannee River adds to the unique and scenic character of the property. Three Florida Champion trees exist on the area. They include persimmon, Florida maple and bluff oak.
The canopy and subcanopy of the floodplain swamp include bald cypress, water tupelo, swamp tupelo, various ashes, willow, Florida elm, red maple, swamp chestnut oak, water hickory, and river birch.

(oh but this land management says to prescribe fire )
So I do not know if that is allowed by land owners or not or if you could get into trouble
