DOUGLASS, Texas, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Last year, Texas fruit tree grower Legg Creek Farm had its best year ever with sales of Southern-adapted fruit trees increasing more than 50 percent.
This year could even be better as Texas gardeners scramble to replace damaged fruit trees lost during the state s freak winter storm. The farm sells online Southern-adapted fruit trees across the U.S. In 2020, when we wrapped up our season, we sold more than 10,000 fruit trees. We ran out of everything we grew and everything we could get our hands on, said Legg Creek Farm President Trey Watson. It was also a challenge because we had to work with a lighter crew due to social distancing.
