re: Ideas for fruit trees to grow in south Louisiana

2 problems with peach and apples in S LA:
- both produce much better with a certain # of hours below Xdegrees and you need to be at least 50 miles north of BR to expect those temps consistently. i don't remember the exact numbers, but call Clegg's Nursery and ask for Johnny Naylor if interested.
- there is a wasp that lays eggs in the blossoms and then hatches in the mature fruit with a big appetite. this can be controlled through spraying (again, i'm not sure of the specifics) but you need to be vigilant and there is a schedule of repeat applications.
