It's the only place I've see them in the Austin Metro area. I think that's their northernmost area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggo Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 The Barton Creek CC area has a nice population. A special tree that’s almost impossible to reproduce commercially. We’re lucky to ride up on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurronnicane Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Though we don’t have any on our property there are quite a few of them near our house west of Dripping Springs. We have a neighbor who has been growing them from seed for a number of years to sell. As dry as this year has been I was surprised that they flowered and produce fruit this Fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading about this. Apparently the often quoted research regarding how hard it is to germinate is b/c they may have used old seeds. It seems the key is very fresh seeds.

The city makes you keep a wide swath around them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
