You may have convinced me to buy a greenhouse. I know it's not as easy as you make it look and sound though!

Do you think they’d grow outside unprotected in south FL? Specifically KendallI think they should do good.
just not frost tolerant.
I wish more people were into the mango hybrids and relatives.
I think it just got staunched though as imports of mango seeds are not allowed.
I'm sure everyone would love to grow this one.
That is a very good answer except for the last point. Any cutting that can be rooted can be air layered. But not necessarily the other way around.
We commercially layer rambutan, for example. We must get 90% or better. We’d never get that with cuttings if any at all.

I say that because of Macadamia. I have air layered lychee on a commercial level. When we tried macadamia on a small scale we got callus formation but no roots until we cut them off and treated them like cuttings. Was it a fluke??? I don't know. Also, Atemoya can be rooted from cuttings according to Australian literature. I have never gotten it to air layer successfully because it has weak wood and the layers have always gotten snapped off by wind. In theory it works, but in practice its not practical. That is why I add the caveat.
What do you consider successful. I'd love to see these shade grown tomato plants. Personally, Ive never even seen tomatoes for sale in the grocery from Florida.
I have farmed both coastal and inland foothills here in San Diego. There's a reason no commercial tomato grows are along the foggy marine layered coast. If you're saying shade is no problem for tomato production, then show me the evidence.
Also, yes there are a lot of successful greenhouse tomato grows in pots. But, what's the growing medium and how large is the pot?
The most concerning part of this whole post is no one mentioned the variety of tomato being grown. So yes, case closed. Bugs killed a plant put in the wrong location.I have seen tomatoes grown very successfully in pots here in Florida (where nematodes can be a limiting factor for in-ground plants). I have also grown cherry, grape, and Campari tomatoes in shade (in the ground). I don't see any signs of a leaf disease like septoria, or early/late blight. I would be looking at a soil borne disease like fusarium or verticulum. If the plant dies, cut into the stem and look for brown dead streaks in the stem. I would also think that one of those is more likely if you have been growing the plant in the same medium as a diseased plant from before. Fresh plants in fresh soil would likely help for next year (we've passed the time to plant here in Florida now).
It can't.I didn’t try durian until a couple years ago and that aroma pulled me right in. It doesn’t smell bad to me at all it’s this fruity sweet delicious smell. Freeze dried durian is by far the greatest way to introduce someone to durian. My mom hated all durian until she was really hungry and asked for some of my freeze dried durian; she loved it and is now addicted. They sell packets of it in my Asian market but you could probably find some online although it’ll be expensive. I go through 3 packets a day if I have them. I have to stop myself or I’ll break the bank. As expensive as it is Yearofthedurian is the only place I’ve been able to buy quality non dried durian. Eating half frozen black thorn is one of the greatest sensory experiences one can have
please let me know what variety of durian has sweet aroma and great taste. I will plant it. I am in So. Cal. I hope it can grow here.
Like I said, there's a lot of identical looking figs on his website. I'm not going to waste my time and point every single one of them out for you. I bet I can look at 90% of his figs and find an existing variety that looks identical. So if he's claiming to be finding seedlings, how was one of them Razz Jelly an already existing variety. Makes me skeptical on the background of some of these "seedlings"https://www.ourfigs.com/forum/figs-home/826825-crema-di-fragola-fig-new-seedling-found-to-be-commonCompare their varieties to the ones on this siteWhat am I supposed to see?

It's not like he renamed Black Mission and claimed it was a feral seedling he found though, right? What's the issue with this one? It was a seedling in an olive orchard that multiple people named. I'm open to this guy being a jerk and a con artist, but where's the evidence?What's your source that he's rebranding popular figs?
Here's one example.
