Edible Landscape. South Mississippi

Just acquired a property in bay st. louis. Interested in doing some edible landscaping. As this will be a second home, was looking to trees/shrubs rather than a garden. Thinking blueberries/blackberries/ and satsumas. Any other notable additions?

Figs, Asian Persimmons, Pears (fireblight resistant cultivars), loquat, mulberry, pawpaws, jujubes, etc. etc. - many options.
Read this - written by a master gardener, and published by Texas A&M, on edible landscape plants he planted on his own property around Galveston. LINK. Old fellow grew just about every fruit imaginable and gives a good account of what worked well and what didn’t.
P.S. and I suggest plants that require minimal maintenance like spraying insects, fungicides for diseases. Virtually all fruit trees and shrubs will require some training, the first several years, and pruning once or twice a year, some more than others, but I find that enjoyable once you understand the importance of it in regards to tree/shrub form, health and fruit production.

Different varieties of blueberry bushes turn beautiful colors in the fall.

I’ve got thornless blackberries
Blueberries
Muscadines
Peaches, and apples. All are fairly easy and not high maintenance.

I do not know about there but here in katy the squirrels get most of my fruit like peaches...figs....they chew the citrus but tend to then leave it alone..result is damaged skin on lemons and stuff but still ok fruit...
They usually get stuff a few days before I was going to pick...birds get stuff like berries....
My vote is satsumas..Meyer lemons..ruby red grapefruits....oranges and limes here usually never taste right (bitter)
