Many years ago as I was growing up you could not go a block without seeing a Japanese plum tree, a celeste fig tree, or a cooking pear tree (all local names) in someone's front yard. In the back yard they had a mirliton vine and a blackberry bush in the far corner. If they liked gardening, they would grow tomatoes and okra.
These were all local varieties that grew extremely well in our area. As urbanization creeped in, the new homes have palm trees and designer bushes that I have never heard of.
What type of yard plants were in your neighborhoods as you grew up that probably aren't there any more? (not talking about 2000 acre corn fields)
