The Anna Apple
Anna Apple is an Israeli selection with a remarkably low chill requirement. It is
large and has light greenish-yellow skin with a slight red blush. The Anna Apple
fruit is sweet, slightly tart, and crisp with a creamy white flesh. Anna Apples are
good choice for fresh eating, apple sauce, or homemade pies. The trees produce
at an early age and the fruit stores very well. Anna Apple trees need only 200-
300 chill hours to produce delicious apple that ripen in late June. Pollinator
required. Ein Shemer and Dorsett Golden are perfect pollinators for the Anna
Apple tree. Tree height 10’ to 20’ and width 10’ to 20’.
About Dorsett Golden Apple Tree...
The Dorsett Golden Apple Tree is an excellent choice to pollinate with the Anna Apple Tree. It has
a medium to large fruit that is firm, smooth, has crisp flesh and has a sweet and tart flavor. The
Dorsett Golden Apple Tree has yellow skin with an orange-red blush and ripens mid-June to early
July. This apple requires a pollinator and the Anna Apple is a great pollinator. This apple has low
chill hours of 250 and the tree size is 10 to 20 feet tall and wide.
Aprium – Apricot/Plum Hybrid
Aprium trees produce fruit that is extremely sweet. The fruit has a strong apricot
overtone with a hint of plum. The fruit is 75% apricot and 25% plum. In
appearance, an aprium resembles an apricot without the fuzzy coat. The aprium is
a stone fruit. The very sweet flavor of the aprium can greatly enhance pies,
salads, and preserves. Aprium trees do best if planted on well drained soil in
areas out of strong winds. Apriums are self-pollinating or self-fertile but larger
fruit and more fruit will be achieved by pollinating with any other apricot tree.
Apriums need 500 to 600 chilling hours, which is the chilling requirement of
temperatures below 45F degrees necessary to fully break dormancy of deciduous
"Lila" avocado trees bear a medium-sized, pear-shaped fruit in the
early spring season. The fruits of this cold hardy tree have a rich, pleasant taste and high oil content. The tree is hardy to 20degrees.
Lila avocado is 6 – 12 oz. in size and ripens July – Sept. , thrive in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 9 through 11, where
they often serve as shade trees. Tree size is 25ft tall and 20 ft. wide.
Avocado, Joey
The Joey was ooriginally found in Uvalde, TX. by Joey Ricers. Joey is a
medium sized Mexican avocado weighing approximately 6-10 ounces. It is
known to be a heavy bearer with the fruit ripening from August to October.
As a mature tree it may withstand temperatures as low as 15-18 degrees.
Joey avocado is a self pollinator. The Joey avocado tree grows erect, usually
to 30 ft.
Avocado, Mexicola Grande
The Mexicola Grande has a glossy, near black, thin easy to peel skin. The fruit is
creamy, almost delicate in texture and has a flavor that is rich, nutty and smooth.
Mexicola Grande avocados are petit in size and weigh an average of four ounces
to eight ounces. The fruit ripens from August to October. The tree is fast
growing and very cold tolerant to 18 or 20 degrees and grows to a height of 25 to
30 feet and 15 to 20 feet wide.
Avocado, Pancho (Poncho)
The Poncho originated as a seedling at Stuart Place, Texas and has great cold
weather tolerance, 15-18 degrees. The blooming period begins in January
and the fruit matures in July and early August. The fruit is oval to slightly
pear shaped, 3-6 ounces in weight, light green colored and thin skinned. The
seed is medium sized, and the flesh is greenish-white, with a rich nutty flavor.
The Poncho is the best mid-summer variety presently
available and grows to 20 to 30 feet tall.
Kiowa Blackberry
The Kiowa Blackberry is a very high yielding thorny cultivar developed by the
University of Arkansas. Kiowa is thought to be one of the biggest blackberries in
the world with a splendid sweet tart flavor. With 'Kiowa' (above), you'll be
picking huge, tasty berries for six weeks. Big fruit plus a long season make this
one of the most productive of the upright blackberries. The Kiowa Blackberry
need to be planted in a 5 foot wide and 5 foot apart raised bed.
Natchez Blackberries
The Natchez Thornless Blackberry fruits are very large, elongated and glossy black
in color. Natchez Blackberries are great for jams, jellies, juice mixes or just eating
fresh off the bush. It is considered an erect to semi-erect variety, but would truly
benefit from trellising. Some extra support will be especially appreciated in early to
mid June, when their abundant yields of berries begin ripening. Blackberries
perform best at a soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Plant spacing is spaced from 3 to 5
feet apart within a row, respectively. The spacing between rows can be 10 to 15 feet
depending on plant vigor.
Goji Berry
The Goji Berry is a sprawling shrub with long, flexible canes and clusters of small grey-
green leaves. Flowers are a brilliant purple and appear in late Spring/early Summer along
the length of the canes. Flowers turn into bright red fruits that resemble small
peppers. Berries grow sweeter as they mature on the plant. The Goji Berry thrives in full
sun. Plants can reach 10’ tall and 5’ wide. Fertilize in early Spring just as new growth
appears with either rose fertilizer or plant food for flowering shrubs.
Misty Blueberry
The Misty Blueberry is one of the most attractive, vigorous and high yielding
Southern Highbush varieties. The bright blue-green foliage provides a perfect
contrast to the pink and white spring flowers and sky blue summer fruit. Yields
best when planted with other varieties such as the Sunshine Blue. Chilling needs
are very low at 300 hours. This blueberry grows to about 4 to 6' tall and ripens
from May to mid summer. The yields are high, fruit size is large (aprox. 65
berries per cup), fruit quality very good with a mild sweet flavor.
Sunshine Blueberry
The Sunshine Blueberry plant yields an abundance of large, tangy fruit with as few as 150 chill hours, so fresh blueberries are still a possibility for those in mild winter areas, yet hardy enough to take down to USDA zone 5. This blueberry variety only grows to about 3 feet tall and wide, so it is more suited to smaller planter areas in urban gardens where space can be a premium. Plant the Sunshine blueberry in full sun in soil that has been amended to be slightly acidic, rich, loose and well-draining. It is self-pollinating, but yields best when planted with another variety. Semi-evergreen.
The O’Rourke Improved Celeste was developed by Dr. O'Rourke at LSU University. It
produces a small-to-medium-sized fruit, which is brown in color with strawberry pink
flesh. The eye is partially closed with the aid of a honey-like substance. Fruit ripening is
early July to August. Fruit is of good quality for eating fresh and for preserving. The
tree size is 8’ to 10’ tall.
Texas Blue Giant Fig
This prolific tree will soon be loaded with very large sized figs with very sweet flavor, one that will require very little of your time. How can you ask for more? The purple clad beauties will be a tantalizing temptation all summer long. The Texas Blue giant does well in hot summer climates yet also a worthwhile container plant in colder locations, as figs take to pruning very well with not much effect on crop production. Water consistently and feed 2-3 times through the season as needed. This fig tree is hardy to USDA zone 6 and all higher zones.
The Texas Everbearing Fig (aka 'Brown Turkey', 'Ramsey', 'Everbearing') is a
medium to large, bell shaped fig. The fruit has brownish-yellow skin with amber
that is plump with a short stem and moderately closed eye which reduces fruit
souring on the tree. Will tolerate colder areas and requires negligible hours
chilling below 45 degrees. 'Texas Everbearing' ripens fruit over an extended
period of the summer from June through August, making it prized as a re-liable
producer almost every year. Grows as a large bush and is 12 to 15 feet and a
spread of 12 of 15 feet.
Dwarf Ruby Red Grapefruit
The fruit of the Dwarf Ruby grapefruit is of an excellent quality and sweetness and the skin that covers the Dwarf Ruby grapefruit is very thin and bright. The pulp of the Dwarf Ruby grapefruit is a distinctive red but as the grapefruit tree ages the inside color of the grapefruit interior will fade as the tree matures. Sometimes the fruit of the Dwarf Ruby Grapefruit tree will grow to an enormous size, almost one pound each.
Grapefruit, Oro Blanco
Oroblanco trees grow vigorously to a large size with a somewhat
spreading form (20 ft tall and 30 ft wide.) The fruit has a smooth
greenish-yellow rind at maturity. As with many white fruits, the Oro
Blanco's flesh is sweet and lacks any of the typical bitterness of a
grapefruit. The flesh is very pale yellow and seedless. Oro Blanco
grapefruit are sweet-tart and may be used in savory or dessert
preparations. Use whole segments in salad or fruit dessert, or use the juice
in cocktails or frozen dishes. Oroblanco is early in its maturity and holds
very well on the tree.
Rio Red Grapefruit
'Rio Red' has interior color that is twice as red as 'Henderson' and its color
persists throughout the season. 'Rio Red' has an overall reddish tinge on
the peel and a lighter-colored halo in the flesh when viewed in cross-
section. Introduced in 1984, the Rio Red variety of grapefruit is fairly
new to the citrus scene. The tree that produces the Rio Red grapefruit is an
upright evergreen that prefers winter temperatures above 30 degrees F.
Yellow-skinned with a pink blush, Red Rio grapefruits have deep pink
pulp that is sweeter than most grapefruit varieties. With proper care, the
mature Rio Red grapefruit tree will grow to heights between 8 and 12 feet
with a 12- to 15-foot spread.
Jujube, Sugar Cane
Sugar Cane has attractive shiny leaves, a care free plant with 150 hours of
chilling. The fruit has a thin, edible skin surrounding whitish flesh and is
extremely sweet. The fully mature fruit is entirely red and after becoming fully
red, the fruit begins to soften and wrinkle. The fruit can be eaten after it
becomes wrinkled, but most people prefer them during the interval between the
yellow-green stage and the full red stage. At this stage the flesh is crisp and
sweet, reminiscent of an apple. It is best to have a pollinator, so buy two trees
or later find graft wood from someone’s existing tree and graft onto your tree.
You can also cross pollinate with So, Lang or Li Jujubes. Height @ 15' to 20'
with the same spread and is cold hardy to zone 5.
Kumquat, Sweet-Meiwa
Meiwa kumquats are more round in shape and are often referred to as
"sweet kumquats". Meiwa kumquats have 1” fruits and are entirely
edible, rind, flesh and the occasional soft seeds. Meiwa kumquats have a
thick, smooth oily peel with aromatic citron fragrances and sweet flavor.
The fruit's flesh is not overly juicy but still very flavorful and tart. Only
by eating both the skin and flesh will its perfect sweet-tart flavor balance
be experienced. A naturally dwarf tree and one of the two most cold
hardy edible Citrus which will tolerate temperatures to 24F or lower once
they are well established. Trees grow to a height of 8’ by 5’ wide and can
be grown as a patio tree or a decorative ornamental fruit tree.
Kumquat, Changshou “Fukushu”
The Fukushu Kumquat is one of the best container plants that you can find. The deep green evergreen leaves are attractive in their own right. But there are many other great features. The very fragrant white flowers can have an extended bloom that can last from late winter into spring. The small orange fruits have a thin skin that contains a significant amount of sugar. The flesh is juicy and somewhat tart. The proper way to eat this delicacy is to eat the rind and flesh together in one bite. Beware, tasting can become habit forming. It can tolerate normal light conditions and will do will inside next to a window. From great leaves, fragrant flowers, colorful tasty fruit and great hardiness this plant has it all.
Lemon, Meyer Improved
The Improved Meyer Lemon is absolutely the hardiest of all dwarf lemon trees,
Improved Meyer will withstand temperatures as low as 18°F for very short
periods. It is also quite prolific producing medium sized, 3 inch, brilliant yellow
fruit that turn yellowish-orange as they mature. Much sweeter than grocery store
lemons (Improved Meyer is technically not a true lemon, but actually a cross
between a lemon and a mandarin orange). Fruits abundantly in winter but can
have some fruit most months of the year. Mature fruit turns from green to yellow
to slightly orange in color. Plants can reach 8 to 10 feet tall at maturity, but
container size and pruning practices can keep them smaller.
Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon
A taste of the tropics! Dwarf citrus trees bear fragrant flowers followed by
tasty fruit! Bears medium-size, round orange-yellow fruit year round (move plants indoors for winter in Northern zones.) Fruit is tangy, juicy and slightly sweet when fully ripe. Potted plants. Zones: 9 - 10 (30° F.).
The Mexican lime tree is a slender evergreen tree which grows to heights
of 6.5–13 feet, bears scentless flowers that mature into fruits, singly, in
pairs or in larger clusters. The fruit, which is generally 1–2 inches
diameter, as it ripens, changes its peel color from green to pale-yellow.
The greenish-yellow pulp of the fruit, with its inseparable 6–15 segments,
is juicy and highly acidic with flavor and aroma. It has either a few or
many small seeds. The Mexican lime because of its unique flavor is ideal
for serving in half as a garnish and flavoring for fish and meats, for adding
zest for cold drinks, and for making limeade.
Lime, Persian
Persian limes are also known as Tahiti limes. The Persian lime tree has no thorns
and produces thicker-skinned fruit larger that is oval-shaped, about the same size
as a lemon, with a vivid green peel which turns yellow when ripe. It is usually
seedless, and has light-green to yellow pulp which is tender and acidic, yet
lacking the distinctive bouquet of the Key lime. The 'Persian' lime is small tree,
reaching a height and spread of about 20 feet (5 m) with a rounded, dense canopy
hanging to the ground. The flavor and aroma are very good. The fruit requires
90 - 120 days from bloom to maturity, depending upon ambient temperatures.
'Tahiti' lime trees bear all year with the greatest production in June, July, and
August. Persian lime does not require pollination to set fruit.
Mandarin, Honey
The Honey Mandarin is an early spring ripening mandarin. It has a honey tanged sweet flavor. The fruit is slightly bumpy with numerous seeds. The fragrant white flowers emerge in late spring and produce fruit which ripens November through April on shrubby trees which have dark willowy leaves. If thinned, it will produce larger fruit.
White-fleshed, early maturing sub-acid, clingstone nectarine. Early-season, super sweet, white fleshed nectarine. Low in acid, no tartness. Rave reviews in trial tastings. The fruit is a semi-freestone with beautiful dark red skin. Harvest approximately mid to late June.
The fruit of the N-33 Navel Orange tree is a lovely orange color and delicious. N33 Navel oranges are fairly easy to peel and are the premier
orange for eating out-of-hand. The N-33 Navel orange is a wonderful seedless "peel & eat" orange. It is produced by this medium sized tree
and recognized as one of the sweetest oranges ever developed. The tree offers fragrant flowers in spring and beautiful foliage year round.
Orange, Pineapple Dwarf
Pineapple orange originated from seedlings planted about 1860 near Citra, FL. Its fruit are medium large, somewhat flattened on both ends, with a moderately thick, smooth peel that develops good orange color under cool night conditions.
Juice color and quality are very good. It usually contains 15-25 seeds. 'Pineapple' matures about Thanksgiving in the Valley. Unfortunately, the name 'Pineapple'
has been used in Texas to designate seedy oranges, which includes both 'Parson Brown' and true 'Pineapple' orange. Basically, if the orange in question
matures well before Thanksgiving, it isn't 'Pineapple'. The tree grows to about 4ft tall.
Very early peach for warm winter climates. Ripens in May, about with Desert Gold. Delicious, sweet and tangy, semi-freestone when fully ripe. Very large for such an early peach. Large, showy pink blossoms. Harvest
Exotic and delicious, the Fuyu Persimmon is a lesser known tree, whose
fruit was aptly nicknamed "the fruit of the Gods" by the Greeks. Rich
both in color and in flavor, the deep orange exterior seems to add to the
fruit’s sweetness. The Fuyu is firm, softening and sweetening to a jelly-
like consistency once fully ripe. Resembling a miniature pumpkin, this
succulent fruit with a honey-like sweetness will fit in the palm of your
hand. The Fuyu Persimmon is a beautiful fruit tree. It can grow up to 40
feet tall with an equal spread, so it is quite large for a fruit tree. As other
persimmon trees, the Fuyu will ripen in the fall.
Persimmon, Hyakume
The fruit is a golden skinned and rounded fruit. Sweet brown sugar flesh, very juicy and full bodied. Rare. Pollination-variant non-astringent variety persimmon can be eaten firm or soft. Pollination-variant means brown skin and non-astringent means “non puckering”. Harvest in late October, November and early December.
The pomelo (Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis) is a crisp citrus fruit native to South and Southeast Asia. It is usually pale green to yellow when ripe, with
sweet white (or, more rarely, pink or red) flesh and very thick albedo (rind pith). It is the largest citrus fruit, 15–25 centimetres (5.9–9.8 in) in diameter,
and usually weighing 1–2 kilograms (2.2–4.4 lb).The pomelo tastes like a
sweet, mild grapefruit (which is itself a hybrid of the pomelo and the orange), though the typical pomelo is much larger in size than the grapefruit. It has
very little, or none, of the common grapefruit's bitterness, but the enveloping membranous material around the segments is bitter, considered inedible, and
The Brown Select Satsuma is a seedless, medium sized fruit
that has segmented slices, easy to peel, and is slightly more cold
hardy than Owari. It ripens 1 to 2 weeks before Owari. As a
dwarf variety, the dwarf brown select satsuma is grafted on
dwarf rootstock.
Satsuma, Owari Mandarin Orange
Owari Satsuma mandarin oranges are a bright orange, sweet and juicy -- were
first documented in Japan more than 700 years ago. The very largest fruit of the
mandarin family and well known for its cold tolerance and is quickly becoming
one of the favorites for home citrus growers. Honey-sweet, seedless and very
juicy, Satsumas large segments separate easily. Even the youngest child can enjoy
this "Zipper peel" fruit. The Owari Satsuma is considered to be a mid-season
fruit, with its season of harvest being December to January. The fruit itself does
not hold well on the tree, but it stores well after harvest. Tree size is 8 to 12 feet
high and wide and is self pollinating.
Tangerine, Dancy
The Dancy Tangerine has a loose skin that is easily peeled. It has a tasty red-orange fruit that ripens in winter. This tangerine works well in containers on the porch or patio. It can be moved indoors for those in extreme winter areas. Dancy Tangerine tree may only reach about 6 feet tall, or it can be clipped to a desired shape. It is an evergreen tree with fragrant flowers. The fruit is rich and flavorful with a slight tartness to it. The Dancy is also called the Christmas Tangerine because its ripening season is during the months of December and January. Its growth habit is quite vigorous, and it prefers full sun, fertile, but well drained soil, and moderate water. Dancy is an extremely prolific bearer.
Everbearing. Thrives in the heat and humidity and still produces exceptional fruit. Bred for Southern growers. Tolerates temperatures over 100 degrees F. without loss of fruit. Plant in full sun. Moist, well drained soil. Produces very large, deep red berries.
