Native and Naturalized Plants of South Texas for Urban Food Forests

I'm a Californian born and raised, so writing a blog about native and naturalized South Texas plants is one thing I never thought I'd do. But this spring I got the opportunity to go to Texas for an entire month, to work on an urban agroforestry project, and during that time I fell in love with its amazing native and naturalized plants.
