Hello, I'm no expert, but i would recommend NOT growing those things from seed, the reason being that to the best of my knowledge these things do not breed "true" to seed. So when you plant an apricot seed a apricot grows, but its not the same genetic individual and might not have tasty fruit (or fruit at all) or might get blight very easily, or there is a small chance it will be as good or better then its parent... but its going to take many years to find out. So, perhaps you should look for rooted cuttings of trees or root divisions of cane fruits. Paw paws are a suckering shrubby tree so they are pretty easy to divide, just watch the tap root.

howdy reed, i'm a little ways from austin. & i've only been doing this 3 years. but figs, jujube's, persimmons, asian pears, & european pears should thrive there with almost zero care. just be sure to get fireblight resistant pears, anything from womack nursery will work, just google them i dont have experience with peaches, plums, etc; but when i google "tamu peaches" texas a&m says they can be grown if i'm willing to follow a spraying routine, & if i'm not willing to spray not to bother. apples also need spraying, & your soil has to be free of cotton root rot, which many areas in the cotton south have if you use the search function at the top of the board & look for "mountainman" & "scraper" you'll read from some fig & pear experts in austin

likely some kind of "cherry" (prunus species)---if it's evergreen possibly p. caroliniana ("laurel cherry"/"cherry laurel") and if it's deciduous p. serotina ("black cherry")

All my trees are leafing/fruiting normally except 1. I have two Prunus mumes, one white that bore alot of fruit last year and this year it has fruit but they are dropping and staying small - plus the tree is barely leafing out. The pink one next to it is all leafed out, has a few fruits and has in previous years been the troubled one of the two, not blooming nor fruiting nearly as heavily as the white one. I don't know what's going on but I hope they are both going to be OK. I make Japanese "plum wine" from the fruit but this year I'll be lucky if I can make even one jar of it (wah!).
