June, Chile Petin is a wild-type bush with very small, hot peppers.

And Texas Persimmon is a small native tree that has small fruits that ripen in fall...very popular with wildlife once they get ripe.

I have some Roughleaf Dogwood, but for some reason, the berries either fail to develop or are removed before they get ripe. Today I checked one and found only one small berry on it. I've also got a good sized Mexican Plum tree, but I think it needs another one for cross-pollination. I get almost no fruits on it. Very frustrating!
