Expert on Wildland Plants and Subtropical Fruits and Nuts

After graduating from high school in rural West Texas (Stanton) in 2002, I returned to my native San Antonio to study Fine Art. I changed my major to Horticulture after discovering a love of growing subtropical fruit seeds in the south-central Texas climate, and I moved Corpus Christi. After graduating with my B.S.A. from Texas A&M University-Kingsville in 2006, I moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to write my thesis on regulated deficit irrigation in pecan. After graduating from New Mexico State University with my M.S. in Horticulture in 2011, I moved to Lubbock to write my dissertation on temporal ecophysiology of huisache, in regard to chemical management. After graduating from Texas Tech University in 2017 with my PhD in Wildlife, Aquatic, and Wildlands Science and Management, I returned once again to San Antonio, where I decided to help orchards, vineyards, nurseries, and other property owners and plant lovers be more informed on how maximize the health of their plants and explore new horticultural possibilities.

I addition to consultation and other services I offer (presentations, landscaping, plant propagation, etc.), I write books on the native plants of the southwestern U.S. and their culinary, medicinal, ecological, and aesthetic uses. I also grow various native plants in a small nursery. A main lifetime goal of mine is to select or breed new varieties of native fruits (e.g. granjeno, Texas persimmon, Texas madrone, brasil, turk’s cap, etc) specifically for produce or processed goods markets. Another is to help Texas become a large enough producer of fruits and nuts like wine grapes, olives, avocados, and pistachios, that it can rival California, and to try to make this come about in a way that is both ecologically and economically sustainable.
