Texas Hill Country Garden

We bought this Texas Mulberry tree at the Mostly Natives Plant festival out near Boerne about two years ago. It was less than a foot high. We planted it in the ground and prayed we would not kill it with the lawn mower because it was so small. Well it made it and this year it produced fruit. The tree is still only about 5 feet tall, but the fruit is so very sweet. I could not believe it. The fruit is ripe when it turns dark purple. We gave some to our neighbors and they made mulberry pancakes with them. Sounds yummy.

You know, I never really thought of myself as a rose person, more of a Texas natives person. But, friends of plant people give friends plants and I have been given a lot of roses. The house came with a few too. Here are some of them. They are all very hardy because none of our plants get a lot of TLC. It is survival of the fittest here in the Texas Hill Country.
