Mama, your county agent can tell you about fruit trees that do well around Waco.

Before you plant any fruit tree, you would be wise to get someone with a backhoe to dig a ten-foot hole about three feet deep then rake the soil back into the hole. Spread about a cubic yard of good soil on top of that then plant your tree in the center of the mound. If you plant in hard soil, the tree will probably just linger there and finally die.

Consider CELESTE fig, ORANGE FROST satsuma, and FUYU persimmon. You might be too far north to plant OWARI satsuma and WASHINGTON navel orange.

Peaches are care intensive.

Ask the county agent about pecan and other fruit trees.

If buying bare-root trees from a nursery, get the 4 to 5 foot size for the better root system.

Good luck and keep us in the loop.
