Fig - Brown Turkey - Sale Price: $171.35 Fig- Brown Turkey, Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey', has the longest ripening season of the recommended varieties. The fruit is medium to large, with a reddish-brown skin tinged with purple. The pulp is reddish-pink and of good quality. It is subject to cracking in wet weather and has a larger eye than Celeste and hence will sour more quickly. The fruit is excellent for making home preserves. Plentiful sunlight is a key to maximizing fruit production. Choose an area that is in the sun most or all of the day. Figs grow extremely well along the Texas Gulf Coast. However, the trees require cold protection in the far northern and western areas and supplemental irrigation in the state's drier areas. The fig fruit is unique. Unlike most fruit in which the edible structure is matured ovary tissue, the fig's edible structure is actually stem tissue. The fig fruit is an inverted flower with both the male and female flower parts enclosed in stem tissue.

Blueberry - Aurora - Sale Price: $51.35 Blueberry - Aurora, Vaccinium corymbosum 'Aurora', will provide large grapelike clusters of fresh and sweetly flavored blue berries in mid-August into September, extending the season well into the fall! Aurora blueberry is an easy to grow delicious berry that is great for edible landscaping. This rounded shrub will produce more berries if a different variety is nearby for cross-pollination, but is self-pollinating. Its shallow root system makes regular irrigation a necessity and mulching is beneficial to conserve moisture. Aurora is resistant to cracking and stores well. Blueberries do tend to overbear so thinning is needed to promote larger fruit. Popular for their fruit, compact size and brilliant fall colors of orange and red. The berries sweeten as they hang on the bush, so don't pick too early!

Grapefruit - Oro Blanco - Sale Price: $126.95 The Oro Blanco Grapefruit is thick skinned and is a popular, nearly seedless, grapefruit hybrid with white flesh. This fruit is produced from huge fragrant blossoms and large glossy-green foliage. As with many white fruits, the Oro Blanco's flesh is sweet and lacks any of the typical bitterness of a grapefruit. Oro Blanco is a vigorous, spreading tree with fantastic tasting grapefruit. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, in the refrigerator for up to a month. Dwarf citrus trees can be successfully grown in containers throughout the United States. Allow for a few years of growth, so that you are not repotting every spring. Citrus do not need to be pruned, but you could prune them if they get too big and in the way. Oro Blanco is Spanish for white gold.

Orange - Trovita - Sale Price: $126.95 The Trovita Orange is a widely adaptable thin skinned orange, which develops excellent flavor without the heat required by other varieties. It also is able to produce heavy crops of fruit in desert heat. Trovita is ideal for fresh-squeezed orange juice, and it is very sweet with few seeds. It ripens in spring, and also blooms in spring, so you may have blooms and fruit at the same time! This is the only orange that is suitable for indoor culture. It will develop a sweet flavor without a lot of heat. The tree is vigorous and upright in growth. It prefers full sun, fertile, but well drained soil, and moderate water. Don't go through another growing season without one of your own! You can grow citrus trees in almost any type of pot, but ceramic or clay is usually recommended; good drainage is essential.
