Betsy,
While they are not superb 'dessert' varieties, in my experience
Glendale and Pixwell will handle hot humid southern zone6/7 settings... but
like to have protection from blazing afternoon sun. I'd put them forward
as two selections to trial initially.
Before I 'knew better', I had Pixwell in full, all-day sun. It grew well
and fruited OK for years, but I suspect it did not enjoy where it was
planted.
