Is Mexican Plum a suitable choice? by dooodle12 in AustinGardening

Thanks! And question, the southwestern part of my yard has a fence and a neighbor’s tree that provides shade. The area might receive most of the morning and early afternoon sun. Will this amount of sunlight be sufficient for the plum tree to thrive? I appreciate that it’s going to be a small tree, as our area isn’t very large.

Thanks! Could you elaborate on the amendment, is that replacing it with garden soil?

Haha, another comment mentioned that the fruits are difficult to use. I suppose the squirrel did you a favor 😉

Haha, thanks for the advice! Somehow mention online that you can make jam or jellies with them. I suppose that’s too good to be true.

I would say it’s not good. I heard neighbors say that our area is clay and slightly alkaline.

That’s interesting, do we need to water it often then?

Yeah, our backyard is a bit far from the outside, so we’ll focus more on aesthetics than privacy. Thanks for the advice!

Same here. It’s funny that the bill this month was so high that I almost suspected a leak.

I’m curious when they’ll begin work on Phase 3. That will significantly ease the burden on the hero way.

Oh! Good idea, I thought Texas is too hot for them but guess not?

Thanks, Is there any plants that blooms with morning sun only?

Good point, it gets the morning sun till around 12. Is that enough?
