Heh-heh. We sent Andy the same link! Arbequibna olive trees also grow well in the high pH caliche soil. They require very little care and are drought resistant. They are slow growers though. Mine have been in the ground for 3 years, but they did produce some fruit last year.

I have found that citrus is difficult. The only tree that I have found to be cold tolerant is a Flying Dragon. It's another slow grower. Of course, I have seen Ponderosa Lemon trees in the city that survive and produce fruit.

Japanese Loquat is a tried and true tree for the S.A. area. It produces lots of fruit that look and taste like apricot.

I first learned of Satsumas growing at the Austin http://www.boggycreekfarm.com/main/ site. I’ll add your other two to my someday list.
