Well, we have planted some fruit trees, but have scattered them about here and there on the property. Mostly tangerine trees, but some grapefruit (Pumelo) and a couple of Meyer lemon trees. Connie has a small area with some blueberry bushes growing well. We have native blueberries here, some of which have become good sized trees. Oh yeah, I have three peach trees too.

Then some asian pears, and regular pear trees. Tried our hand with some apple trees, nut trees, and cherry trees, but none of them worked out well here. We do have some native hickory nut and a small area with some young black walnut trees. We put in four pecan trees, and not a one of them did well.

So far the bears haven't gotten into any of the fruit trees. I'm sure they would do some major damage to the whole tree if they do get into them. As it is, raccoons and possums will sometimes break branches getting at the fruits. We have some pindo palms that produce fruit as well as lowquats and one fig tree, that the varmints always get the fruit before we realize they are even ripe.
