In this episode, you will learn about many of the unique and exotic vegetables and fruit trees they have available at

this amazing nursery in the DFW area in Texas.

First, John will take you on a tour around the nursery to show you all the vegetables they are growing in large 25-95

gallon containers during the hot and humid summer in Irving, Texas.

Next, you will discover some of John's favorite fruit trees to grow in the Dallas, Texas climate.
