Why these varieties
Heat, drought, clay — picked for here.
Texas chews up trees that were bred somewhere milder. These varieties were chosen because they tolerate heat, need fewer chill hours than most northern stock, and have a track record in our region. We'd rather plant trees that will still be here in 20 years than trees that look impressive on a nursery list.
The orchard isn't separate from the rest of the farm — it's part of the same whole. Trees build soil, shade animals, hold water, drop fodder, and feed people. Just on a slower clock than the pastures.
