In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

several nurseries in Austin regularly stock mexican plum trees, which is what I see all over the place. You'll see these used in all kinds of low/no maintenance locations like highway right of ways, landscaping in shopping malls, offices, etc. I know the Big Red Barn had them an the Natural Gardener too.

The are easy to grow and the put out a lot of fruit. I make jelly with the fruit. This year i froze all the leftover skins/pulp/and seeds and then dumped it out by me feeders. The deer ate it up, preferring it to corn. And I think the hogs cleaned up what the deer didnt get.


Adult late onset hunter. Why did I wait so long to get started?
