Blackberries & dewberries do just fine in heat & humitity...but raspberries do not.

I live on the Northshore which is zone 8b. I am trying some apple trees with low chilling hours ( Anna and Ein Shemer) to see how they do. Tired of protecting citrus from freezes. Blueberries do really well if the birds don't get to them first.

FYI, Baton Rouge Green LINK just announced their spring tree sale. Several fruit trees (including mayhaw) caught my eye.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and especially those lsu ag center links. I'm planting them today once I get a nap in after work.
