Never talked to anyone that had good luck with them here. Two problems I hear , #1 heat and humidity, they are really more of a northern plot. #2, they dont know what they are here and dont eat them. #2 might could be solved after a few years if you figure a way around #1, LOL.

Some questions for you first.

When do you want it to be attractive?

What kind of equipment do you have access to?

How big of an area are we talking? There is a big difference in your options between 1/4 acre and 5+ acres. Is it small enough for shade to be an issue?
