re: What fruit trees have you had success with in south Louisiana?

Chickasaw plums are great, esp if you are feeding wildlife. They use to be 100x more prevalent along the roadbanks but now the state clears them all the way back to the treeline.

As individuals they are great, get 3-4 and maybe spray them once or twice a year and you got some good plums.

A bit of advice before you go and spend money on trees have your soil tested.

I have two orange trees that did well until that freeze last year. I think the blood orange isn't going to survive. Others I've had were peach which did not do well and eventually died somewhat until I cut it down. Fig tree is doing alright but not tall at all. Blueberry bushes didn't do well and died.

A simple soil test of where you plan to plant trees or bushes would help you to know a lot to make whatever you plant thrive and produce well.

I ordered the nuts and started my own. Takes a few more years to get nuts. Id rather buy a few pounds of nuts for $20 and get 40-50 trees vs 2 trees for $50

I did the start them in peatmoss in the fridge technique to get mine to sprout

I got a million blooms about to open on my lemon tree. Last year a cold snap got them and I only got a dozen or so lemons. Two years ago I got 5-5 gallon buckets full. I love the smell when they bloom.

1 is Anna. The other is ein schemer or golden dorsett don't remember which. I know I planted one tree that is self pollinating and the other two I have are same variety that needs a cross-polinator. One of my cross-polinator trees is about a month behind the other two in blooming. It needed a lot of pruning this winter.

Also suprised they got pollinated as I've seen 1 bee since the blooms opened.

Satsuma everything else i have tried died

Did anyone else already put some plants in the ground and a little nervous about the next few days of cold weather?

A few of my blueberry bushes already have fruit. Hope they don’t drop them all!

Rough, we should only be hitting 30 the next few nights.
