As the seasons are favorable for it, we'll be planting fruit trees this year and next. There are a few apple types that grow even in FL, so we're doing some Anna and some Golden Dorsett. We're also doing orange, lime, banana, avocado, and pear as well. We have some pineapple growing already, and an existing tangerine tree. We'll also be adding some blackberry bushes (the thorns make them good for growing along the fence line), and some blueberry ones (there are some that grow in FL). All of these will in areas that aren't for the horses to graze (especially since they'd eat all the apples).
Mostly, the apples would be for the horses anyhow...but all in the household like them too. I can certainly see us canning our own applesauce, fruit cocktail, and apple slices. Blueberries are apparently challenging, but we're in a good spot for trying the UF recommended varieties.
Of course, will be a few years before we see the new trees bear fruit (for most of them).
