Hello, loves,

I am in New Orleans, zone 9b. I have some pineapple guava that I have grown from different sources of seed that are now flowering. I am wondering about different sources of pineapple guava seeds and whether or not anybody has had success in getting fruit from feijoa varieties side by side in places with similar climates to New Orleans.

Thank you, Ben and Alder!

Thanks, Ben. Do you know if peach trees definitely like oak soil? I have heard this, but don't remember where or how reliable the source was, and I can't seem to find much on the internet. Thank you again for replying. Best, Zach

I have a live oak that towers in front of an east facing house. The roof has no gutter. The rain drops to the sidewalk and then onto the space between the sidewalk and street where the live oak is growing. Knowing these conditions, and that New Orleans is zone 9b/10a, does anyone have any suggestions for a fruit tree that would enjoy the soil that has been made by a hundred years of the live oak growing? Because of the way the tree is, there is still morning and afternoon light available and dappled light as well. I have been told that peaches might like dappled light, but am unsure if they would like oak soil. Help….
