Rockport, Texas
On a recent work trip to south Texas, I took a slight detour to visit Amber's Edibles in Rockport, Texas. Amber and Carraig recently planted an edible landscape, with all sorts of citrus, eugenias, jaboticabas, sapotes, plumerias, lily pilly, surinam cherry, and others. Carraig reminded me that this was a work in progress, but it wasn't very difficult to imagine what things would be like in a few years as his trees matured.
In spite of coastal soils, salt spray, poor drainage, sink holes, and hard well water, Amber and Carraig are working to establish a little oasis of tropical fruit trees on the Texas coast. I'll try to visit them again in the spring to see how their edible landscape is doing. Amber's Edibles is closed until Carraig returns from Iraq in March, so we'll be hoping for his safe return.
