I've been seeing them at Home Depot lately so I assume this is the season to plant. Anyone have any luck with fruit trees in DFW? I have a ton of squirrels in my backyard so it would have to be something they don't like to eat up. TIA
Had a pear tree when I lived in College Station. Squirrels loved them. They one take one bite and leave them on the ground.GarlandAg2012 said:
My brother has a lemon and a pear tree in Ft Worth/Arlington area. I think the lemon tree does really well, not sure if the pear is old enough to bear fruit yet.
They were having issues with critters but I think they put a squirrel cage thing on and it helped some.
we have two lemon trees we've had to pot. have to bring them inside with weather freezes.CJS4715 said:
I was curious about the lemon tree. No way you can get a full grown lemon tree in the ground here producing fruit, right? I mean, I'd love to but assume it will not work.

I have a peach tree that I bought from Lowe's 9 years ago in my back yard in Murphy (East of Plano). It has done quite well.
