Step into a pop up orchard for the 16th Annual Fruit Tree Sale at Rice University’s Greenbriar Lot on Saturday, January 16, 2016.
With more than 100 varieties of fruit trees, look on as Rice University’s Greenbriar Lot becomes awash with trees that are adapted to grow in Houston’s climate during this annual sale.
