FGM...
Just seeing all the fruit makes me want to move to Florida..
Or May be Take A lONG trip of my own.. 
I was just talking to my sister today telling her about the trees I have bought and that she should plant some. I really don't know what would grow there. She lives in Cypress. What do you grow there?

... They get a few degrees colder than I do (fortbend county) and thus have to protect all subtropical/tropical plants from the danger of frost in winter. But if she's interested, she can grow many plants as we have ample warm summers (HOT!! is more like it).
Plants I grow in ground... Jujubes, stone fruit like plums/apricot/peaches/nectarines, pears, 5 different (closed eye) figs, mango, curry leaf...pecan and trying my hand at a walnut tree (Macadamia doesn't like frost, needs to be protected), Owari satsuma, loquats, Wilma Avocado, white Asian guava, Pomegranates, Arbequina olive, Patra or Colocasia esculenta (taro), neem tree, Reg. Banana, Sugarcane, Naval Orange, pineapple(store-bought).
Plants in pots but can be in ground.. { i have a major prob. with Deer getting to them, so i have them in pots
}
